Abstract

The landscape indication, based on the automated analysis of remote sensing data, is one of the key methods of research and mapping of lithohydrogene geosystems. The article describes a set of methods for effective detection of types of lithohydrogene systems, including a set of modules for identifying dynamic and invariant descriptors of the territory; assessment of geophysical diversity of landscapes; analysis of the geophysical shell through the calculation of the descriptors of the neighborhood; ensemble-analysis of remote sensing data for monitoring the state of geosystems and forecasting of natural processes. The system of methods for detecting types of landscapes made it possible to conduct geodiagnostics of lithohydrogene systems of the Privolzhskaya Upland and the marginal part of the Oka-Don lowland reservoir within the boundaries of the Republic of Mordovia in order to predict the development of exogeodynamic processes.

Highlights

  • The most important directions of modern research in the Earth sciences are the development of a methodology and methods for searching for patterns of development of exogeodynamic processes (EGP) for forecasting development and minimizing manifestations of natural and man-made emergency situations

  • The information space created with the help of regional GIS optimizes the organization of ecological monitoring over the state of lithohydrogene geosystems - multicomponent formations of geological environment - rocks and tectonic structures that determine hydrogeodynamics and hydrogeochemistry of groundwater, regional and local balance of matter and energy, development of exogeodynamic processes

  • The following is a list of methods that make up the system of effective geodiagnostics: 1) The block of allocation of dynamic and invariant descriptors of the territory operates on the assumption that in order to form an informative spatio-temporal characteristic of the geophysical shell, it is expedient to rely on a system analysis of data that describes the dynamic and invariant states of the vicinity of the geophysical site

Summary

Introduction

The most important directions of modern research in the Earth sciences are the development of a methodology and methods for searching for patterns of development of exogeodynamic processes (EGP) for forecasting development and minimizing (warning) manifestations of natural and man-made emergency situations. GIS-technologies are used as the basic tool of research of the space-time organization of geosystems. The information space created with the help of regional GIS optimizes the organization of ecological monitoring over the state of lithohydrogene geosystems - multicomponent formations of geological environment - rocks and tectonic structures that determine hydrogeodynamics and hydrogeochemistry of groundwater, regional and local balance of matter and energy, development of exogeodynamic processes (karst, landslide formation, suffusion, thermodynamics, etc.). The separated lithohydrogene geosystems have a definite vertical structure of geogrhorizons - a combination of natural components whose composition and radial connections determine the genesis, structure, development, dynamics and functioning of landscapes. As the leading method for their study and mapping, a landscape indication based on the use of multizone space is used
