Aerocosmogeological studies of the Piatyhorivka area of the Dnieper-Donets Depression (correction of the structure, identification of tectonic activation zones)

As a case study of the Piatyhorivka area of the Dnieper-Donets Depression with a level terrain is given to characterize the technology of computerized processing and structural identification of multiband remote sensing data. Its application enables to visualize the components of the terrestrial landscape for the research area more clearly. Moreover, as a result the identification of elements of a weakly incised (low-amplitude) erosion network, the differentiation of soils by spectral features, etc. became possible. On the basis of a combined analysis of a complex of landscape components, the structural interpretation of remote sensing data together with a priori data of geological and geophysical studies, the elements of the fault-block structure of the research area were refined. The zones of tectonic activation at the current stage of the development of the earth's crust were found within its limits.
