The book is divided into five parts: the first part describes the application of aerial methods in geological structures, geomorphology, permafrost, mineral exploration and oil and gas resource surveys; the second part focuses on aerial surveys and cartography of soil cover; the third part involves aerial research methods for forests, pastures, semi-deserts and desert vegetation; the fourth part discusses water and ocean ice conditions and water resources surveys; the fifth part introduces aerial census techniques for wildlife and fishery resources. Conclusions and references are attached at the end of the book. This book can be used as a reference for professionals in the fields of physical geography, geology, pedology, botany and resource surveys.
