Abstract
The dynamics of river channel processes were analyzed in the region of complex floodplain-channel branching of the Amur River near Khabarovsk using remote sensing data of the Earth’s surface. Zones of steady accumulation and long-term erosion of the river channel are established within the Khabarovsk water junction over the period of 1964–2004. The main problems related to restoring the Amur River back to its initial channel were distinguished in the course of these works. A map of individual streams formed in the Amur River channel under the influence of large tributaries (the Sungari and Ussuri rivers) was developed. The importance of this map for forecasting the spreading of anthropogenic pollution in the channel of the Amur River is shown using the example of the emergency situation that resulted from the explosion at the chemical plant in the Sungari River basin (Jilin, China; November 2005).
