Management of Natural and Environmental Risks in the Context of Increasing Continentality of the Climate

Abstract

The article presents methods for managing natural and environmental risks in the conditions of increasing continentality of the climate in the Polar regions of gas production. It is shown that natural risks associated with the rise in summer temperatures can manifest themselves in the form of various epizootics. The leading factor in the manifestation of such natural risks are large-scale disturbances of tundra soils, in particular, on the Yamal Peninsula due to overgrazing of reindeer. Environmental risks are associated with the impact of gas industry on the processes of eutrophication of tundra ecosystems, which manifests itself in the form of a change in the predominant forms of vegetation and increased thawing of soils. Against the backdrop of an increase in the continentality of the climate, in recent years, on the territory of the Taz Peninsula, biogeochemical technologies for the reclamation of tundra soils, adaptive to the climatic conditions of the Far North, have been successfully tested, based on methods protected by patents of the Russian Federation.
