Use of the space segment of remote sensing for monitoring natural and anthropogenic emergencies in southern Russia

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of remote sensing of the Earth. The article analyzes prospects for using the space segment of remote sensing for monitoring emergency situations of natural and man-made character in southern Russia (using the example of the Republic of Kalmykia) to predict and control emergency situations and eliminate their consequences. The use of a space monitoring system for identifying landscape fires in arid territories was suggested.
