The author investigates the role of ecological mapping as a unifying factor in the geographical sciences. Among the issues addressed include: (1) whether only current or past maps on environmental subjects may be considered “ecological,” (2) the role of human subjects of mapping both as agents of environmental change and biological species affected by it, (3) ecological mapping both as a theoretical concept and as a tool, (4) levels of interrelationship among environmental components and pollutants to be depicted on ecological maps, and (5) the need for meaningful regional units for statistical analysis. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA 22308 from: Izvestiya Rossiyskogo Geograficheskogo Obshchestva, Vol. 127, 1995, No. 6, pp. 18-23.

The authors describe results of a project involving intermediate-scale mapping of natural environmental complexes of an experimental area in central Belarus'. Three different cartographic models—of landscape dynamics, landscape-geochemical conditions, and composite ecological-landscape conditions—make it possible to organize and synthesize a large volume of material for the assessment of the ecological situation across a number of diverse natural complexes.

An analysis is made of conditions believed to be optimum for a stereoscopic survey of the Earth's surface by a synthetic-aperture radar on board a spacecraft. Variants for construction of an orbiting stereosystem and factors contributing to a radiometric mismatch of stereopair images are examined. Analysis and choice of optimum conditions for a stereophotogrammetric survey are oriented toward facilitating the computer processing of radar images for the purpose of obtaining digital terrain models.

The principal objectives and methods of a Kazakh government program using remote sensing imagery to study processes of terrain development on the dried floor of the Aral Sea are described. A sketch map of relief-forming processes, compiled from the interpretation of false-color space photographs of the exposed sea floor, as well as multitemporal images obtained over a long period of time, will make it possible to compile cartographic models of terrain development and to forecast the evolution of natural complexes of the desiccated Aral Sea floor.

A review of a recent monograph on geographic information science provides useful insights into current Russian perspectives on the underlying theory, technological basis, and practical applications of geographic information systems. It also provides an overview for Western readers of what is one of the most significant recent Russian-language contributions to the GIS literature.

Results are reported of a comparative analysis of information obtained on total ozone content (TOC), using simultaneously recorded data from satellite (TOMS and SBUV instrumentation) and surface (Dobson spectrophotometer) observations of the city of Athens, Greece during the period 3 January to 31 December, 1991. The comparison revealed their satisfactory agreement when the satellite data are systematically understated to account for ozone in the cloud layer and in the atmosphere beneath the clouds. The need for an interactive system of satellite and surface observations of TOC, with the important role of the latter as a control, is emphasized.

The authors describe the organizational principles and results of an effort to devise a legend for a 1,80,000,000-scale map of the Asian continent as part of a broader international program of continent-scale geomorphological study of the Earth's major terrain features. The basic purpose of the map is to depict morphotectonic features of the ocean floor and continents from the perspective of plate tectonic theory. Specific attention is devoted to the elaboration of principles governing the development of the legend (based on the earlier-compiled Geomorphological Map of China)—e.g., the importance of discriminating between active and passive continent/ocean margins in the identification of major morphotectonic categories, as well as the need for special attention to an entire range of transitional categories between continental land masses and adjacent ocean/sea floors. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA 22308 from: Geomorfologiya, 1995, No. 4, pp. 3-12.
作者描述了组织原则和结果的努力设计一个图例的1.8亿比例尺的亚洲大陆的地图，作为一个更广泛的国际计划的一部分，大陆尺度地貌学研究地球的主要地形特征。该地图的基本目的是从板块构造理论的角度描绘海底和大陆的形态构造特征。特别关注的是对传说发展的指导原则的阐述(以较早编制的中国地貌图为基础)。在确定主要形态构造类别时，区分主动和被动大陆/海洋边缘的重要性，以及需要特别注意大陆地块和邻近海洋/海底之间的整个过渡类别。Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA 22308摘自:Geomorfologiya, 1995, No. 4, pp. 3-12。
