Methods for utilizing multiseasonal radar imagery to study the landscape structure of a glaciolacustrine plain in Karelia are outlined by two Russian remote sensing specialists. Side-looking radar imagery (1:100 000 scale) in the cm wavelength band, with a ground resolution of 20-30 m, is used to discriminate basic vegetation structures (a swamp, area of pine forest). Interpretation maps derived from imagery for each of the four seasons were used to compile a comprehensive landscape map of the study area.
