The AA. developed a generic remote sensing and geophysics based approach to model regolith thickness for areas with limited possibility of direct field observations. The approach was tested in a seismically-active and depositional landscape
of regolith thickness. A geomorphic classification of landforms and topographic attributes were derived from a remote sensing-based (ASTER) digital elevation model and SPOT-5 satellite imagery. A multivariate linear model based on landform, elevation
In the paper relations between width of shore platform, height of the coastal cliffs and its inclination are analysed. The study was based on profiles of the Slovenian coast obtained by remote sensing. Results show that the width of shore platform

of these collapse features on Lake Rhonda and Lake Owl and their geometry is determined using geophysical and remote sensing measurements. In addition, the AA. determined the extent of thawed permafrost obscured by floating vegetation mats at the study site
and provided a basis for larger scale estimates of bioavailable organic carbon in the thaw bulbs below lake portions covered by floating vegetation mats. They used high-resolution remote sensing imagery to map the spatial extent of the collapse features across
