RISK OF GEODYNAMIC PROCESSES IN ALTAI MOUNTAINS (RUSSIA)
Abstract
The original method for the assessment of risk of geodynamic processes in mountain areas was developed. The proposed indices are as follows: relief structural stages, degree of tectonic break, stru ctural intersection nodes of faults, tectonic valleys, the intensity of slope processes, permafrost f eatures, and landscape differentiation of the territory. The geodynamic indices were estimated with factor maps of the GIS-project using the analysis of morphotectonic block structure, and the field geomorphological and seismogeological techniques.
