The condition of forests at the far northern edge of the Siberian taiga, in the zone of negative environmental impacts from emissions of the Noril'sk Mining and Metallurgical Combine, was studied using images from Meteor and Priroda satellites. A considerable increase in the rate of tree stand damage was discovered in the late 1970s-early 1980s, attributable to an increase in SO2 emissions. The zone of forest degradation zone now extends for up to 200 km leeward of the major emissions sources and tree stands have been killed at distances of up to 80 to 100 km.

A map of zones of probable groundwater occurrence in eastern Rostov Oblast was compiled on the basis of combined geostructural and landscape interpretation of space photographs and scanner imagery. A method of inferring hydrological information from features visible on space imagery (vegetation) was devised to identify potentially promising zones in terms of character of water mineralization and depth of groundwater occurrence.

A new method is proposed for determining the spectral brightness coefficients (SBC) of agricultural crops, making it possible to exclude contributions to the formation of the brightness field caused by bare soil and weedy vegetation. This makes possible a substantial increase in the accuracy in determining actual biomass of agricultural crops. It is shown that the use of measurement data not only for brightness, but also for the polarization of radiation ascending from the sensed object, ensures a quite reliable assessment of the share of damaged agricultural crops.

The existence of a system of cold and warm transverse upwelling filaments was established on the basis of an analysis of daily infrared satellite images of the Benguela upwelling (15-32° S) recorded during two sea expeditions during January-February 1986 and April-June 1988 and its principal characteristics were determined. The geographic location of the filaments and their relationship to bottom topography is analyzed. A correlation is established between the spatial temporal variability of the system of cold filaments and the seasonal intensification of the upwelling.

Results are presented of analysis of Landsat MSS imagery for the purpose of assessing damage to northern taiga and tundra vegetation caused by emissions generated by nonferrous metallurgy on northwest Russia's Kola Peninsula. Unlike earlier studies, the present project attempts to provide spatially comprehensive coverage of vegetation impacts, according to a standardized methodology for their assessment. A reduction in the number of feature classes identifiable upon a change from visual interpretation to automated classification based on spectral brightness values made it necessary to test alternative classification procedures (based on brightness ratios and the normalized vegetation index).

The authors discuss scientific information derived from observations from the GMS geostationary satellite and Doppler radar measurements of cloud concentrations immediately prior to the passage of a typhoon over an area of the northwest Pacific. Image processing made it possible to ascertain changes in convective turbulence over space and time. Experience in selection and adjustment to imaging conditions using Doppler radar in the field are described and their applicability to observations in space are discussed.

The author outlines a cartographic method for assessing and predicting the fire hazard in different types of forest vegetation, using the landscapes of the lower Angara valley in Krasnoyarsk Kray as an example. More specifically, maps of combustible plant materials and of basic fire-conducting materials are compiled at intermediate scales based on air photo interpretation and field studies. These maps in turn are a part of a complex of tools (maps of actual dryness values at specific times of year, knowledge of the location of topographic and other barriers to the spread of fire, and information about particular sources of fire) that can be used to assess the potential consequences of forest fires and to plan measures for combating them. Translated from: Geografiya i prirodnyye resursy, 1995, No. 2, pp. 146-152.

The results of the interpretation of space imagery make it possible to conclude that contemporary landscapes in the southern Aral Sea region are relatively young. A general section devoted to the methodology of using space imagery to compile maps of the age of contemporary landscapes precedes a description of the procedures used to determine the age of landscapes in the southern Aral Sea region. The latter procedures are based on information derived from a variety of sources, including knowledge of the duration of various stages of plant succession following abandonment of irrigated fields, archaeological data, ancient maps, and multitemporal space photographs. Excerpts from space imagery and interpretation maps are presented. Translated by Dorothy B. Vitaliano, Bloomington, IN 47408 from: Geografiya i prirodnyye resursy, 1995, No. 2, pp. 96-108.
