Abstract

Comparative analysis of advantages and disadvantages of the field methods for studying the regressive growth rates and mechanisms of gullies tops has been performed. The traditional methods (linear measurements and tacheometry) have been considered along with the new ones (scanning and photogrammetric survey) which appeared recently and require the use of high-precision equipment and specialized software. The possibility of quantitative evaluation of the gully growth rates and ongoing mechanisms of gully erosion has been analyzed. The need for complex application of the considered methods has been revealed. The possibility of using a certain method with account of resource, time, and financial costs has been considered.

Keywords: gully, erosion, regressive growth, linear measurements, topographic and geodetic surveying, laser scanning, photogrammetry

Acknowledgments. This work was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project no. 15-17-20006).
