Space observations in the tasks of geoecological researches of coastal arctic shelves

Abstract

The article discusses the tasks of creating a digital platform for integrated geoecolog-ical research based on space observations of the effects of natural and man-made sources of pollution of coastal marine areas. Data on the state of pollution of estuaries of the northern seas are given. Methods are proposed for identifying sections of surface water pollution from survey data using Landsat -8 space station. In this work, studies were conducted on the selection of spectral ranges of surveys in the tasks of isolating pollution of coastal surface waters. Examples are presented that illustrate the capabilities of satellite imagery in the tasks of identifying contaminated sites for estuarine areas of the marine areas of the Arctic Ocean. Recommendations are given on choosing the spectral ranges of surveys when conducting geoecological studies of marine waters.
