Summary:

Paper presents some of results of remote sensing analysis, carried out in the middle Vistula River valley in the vicinity of Magnuszew. Study was carried out simultaneously with field geological setting of the floodplain and channel zone. The aim of investigations was recognition of the tendencies high water current concentration on the floodplain area and estimation the suitability of satellite photographs of high resolution in fluvial environment prognosis as well as mor-phogenesis model creation purposes. The investigations were carried out in the frame of the scientific project no. 2P04E06929 entitled "Significance of morpho-genetic factors in the development of habitat diversity of selected river valley stretches in the Polish Lowlands".
