A Russian geographer outlines several principal directions involving the application of remote sensing technologies to research on mountain systems in the Lake Baykal region of East Siberia. These include remote sensing applications involving: temporal comparison of images from different times; landscape forecasting and paleoland-scape reconstruction; determination of present-day dynamics; and computer-aided image processing. The paper describes how these and other methods were used to delineate the boundaries of a new Kodar National Park and in landscape/regional planning in the Goloustnaya River basin. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA from: Geografiya i prirodnyye resursy, 1998, No. 4, pp. 121-128.

Algorithms for processing multispectral scanner images are described, the results of which are not affected by additive and multiplicative components of error in brightness measurement, which are unknown but identical in all spectral channels. A detailed description is provided of an algorithm for the joint processing of images recorded in three spectral channels, but the approach can be adapted for use in processing imagery in four, five, or more bands. Classification maps produced by the algorithm for the purpose of discrimination of water, bare or sparsely vegetated ground, and areas of denser vegetation are presented and assessed.

A team of Russian geomorphologists outlines a method for the compilation of detailed, comprehensive maps of geomorphological processes (1:10,000 and 1:25,000) in support of environmental impact studies of forested areas in the central Russian Plain. The paper investigates whether the identification of regions of similar underlying conditions for the occurrence of a complex of geomorphological processes makes it possible to create a series of such maps for Russia's major geomorphological regions.

The authors explore how the utilization of remote sensing images can help supplement gaps in knowledge of thermal conditions in poorly studied areas not adequately covered by the Russian Federation network of hydrometeorological stations. Particular attention is devoted to the potential of aerial remote sensing surveys (e.g., radiometers) in densely forested, wetland, and high-mountain regions. A methodology of radiation temperature measurement is applied in a test area in southern East Siberia and regions of distinctive radiation temperature conditions are identified. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA from: Geografiya i prirodnyye resursy, 1998, No. 1, pp. 22-26.

The conference was organized by the Institute of Geography, Russian Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Russian Geographical Society, the Russian Federation Geodetic and Cartographic Service, the school of Geography at Moscow University, the Russian State Library, the Moscow State University of Geodesy, Aerial Mapping, and Cartography, and the Geoinformation System Association. There were 67 plenary reports, over 30 poster sessions, and a roundtable on “Cartographic Working Groups of Today and Tomorrow.” Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA from: Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, seriya geograficheskaya, 1998, No. 2, pp. 121-130.

The authors compare the relative advantages and shortcomings of automated versus manual procedures (in interpolation of an isarithmic map from point-symbol data) for the compilation of a map of maximum snow cover of the former USSR. The initial data were obtained from a point-symbol map of maximum snow depths for the winters of 1985/86 and 1987/88. The map of manually interpolated isarithms was subsequently digitized and put in an identical format with the automated-interpolation map to facilitate comparison.

Two geographers outline methods for the joint use of surface geochemical and space-based remote sensing surveys in the study of air pollution in urban areas, with emphasis on the situation in Irkutsk Oblast. The focus is on the use of indicators of snowcover pollution in early spring. Remote sensing imagery is used both to identify zones where ground-based geochemical studies are to be performed, and to generate (spectral) data supplementing ground-based geochemical information in the identification of zones of maximum pollution (mapped for particular pollutants).

A paper devoted to exploring the new hazards to public health (referred to here as medical geographic situations [MGS]) that could arise as a result of continually evolving human-land relations on the territory of Russia uses comprehensive maps as an essential tool in their early detection, forecasting of future spatial extent, and planning of remedial measures. A medical ecological mapping procedure is applied to Altay Kray in West Siberia to illustrate how the concept advanced by the authors is used to assess human pressure on the environment, preconditions for emergence of disease, and spatial patterns in emergence of public health problems.
