Digitalization of Large Arctic Projects Geo-Information Support Under Climate Change and COVID-19

Abstract

AbstractPaper consider the digitalization results of geo-information support for large arctic projects within Industry 4.0 period under climate change and COVID-19. In study, there are used Foresight technologies, theory of decision making under uncertainties, risk management approach, methods of databases constructing in case of digital risk management platforms. Currently, the ways of geo-information support for large arctic projects have distinct features of digitalization with new concepts in data obtaining and presenting. In paper, preference is given to the use of digital risk management platforms, which integrate heterogeneous hardware and software resources with the use of web-technologies in distributed networks and wide application of cloud services. It is proposed to use block diagram of geo-information support decision for large arctic projects within Industry 4.0 period under climate change and COVID-19. This basic model allows direct assessment of the environmental monitoring cost impact on the overall business profit. There is considered examples of different digital natural risk management platforms for large arctic projects. The research results presented in this article has significant scientific novelty and can be useful for private investors, public environmental organizations of the civil sector and state environmental control bodies and can be used in training and educational purposes.KeywordsDigitalizationLarge arctic projectGeo-information supportClimate changeCOVID-19
