| Résumé anglais |
Russia is one of the world's largest gas and oil producing countries. Its richest fields occur where permafrost is often present. These fields were rapidly exploited without much environmental concern. Cryogenic processes and corrosion shorten the lifetime of pipelines which are often in swampy and remote areas where access is difficult. The task of monitoring the pipeline requires remotely sensed data. Airborne imagery is more expensive than spaceborne imagery but the latter provides greater choice of sensors and higher spatial resolutions. Radar sensors have shown great potential to study the topography and can operate by night or cloudy weather. Optical sensors are still irreplaceable for vegetation mapping.
