Aerial photographic work in the deserts of East Central Asia, in comparison with the deserts in West Central Asia, does not differ basically. The methods of Soviet scientists to utilize aerial photography in the geographic studies on the desert territories of the Soviet Union could successfully be used also in East Central Asia. It is necessary to disseminate widely these methods and achievements in order to introduce these into geographic studies of the tremendous desert territories of the Chinese Peoples Republic.
