The methods of GIS-analysis of remote sensing data become especially significant today due to the inaccessibility of the northern territories. Over the past two decades, the staff of the laboratory Geoinformation technologies and remote sensing of the V.S. Sobolev Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS actively applies the GIS-analysis of remote sensing data for studying of permafrost. In particular, we carried out a GIS-analysis of remote sensing data from UAVs, as well as an analysis of vertical displacements of infrastructure objects surfaces using SAR methods. These studies made it possible to obtain factual material on changes in the natural environment in the distribution area of the permafrost and to expand the tools available for methods of the laboratory staff.
