Long term effects of summer traffic by tracked vehicles on tundra / J.R. Radforth, Muskeg Research Institute, University of New Brunswick.: R73-4/73-22E-PDF

The sites were also photographed from various altitudes in order to assess the possibility of using aerial photography to evaluate disturbance levels and terrain sensitivity to disturbance by vehicle traffic"--Summary, page [1].
