Multispectral television measurements can be used for applied tasks of environmental monitoring, in particular for measuring the parameters of phytoplankton in aqueous media. In this case, the concentration of phytoplankton particles in the water volume is determined, the average particle sizes and the average concentration of chromophores in the near-surface layer. The aim of the work is to improve the multispectral television method to increase the accuracy of measuring the parameters of phytoplankton. An improv...

Online monitoring of plankton in lake-type reservoirs requires the development of a model which is based on previous information, can assess the current state and predict the concentration of plankton in the future. An improved view of previous periods is possible on the basis of reanalysis techniques. These data can be used as a basis for modeling the profile of wind characteristics and the temperature profile which varies with its influence. A one-dimensional model for lake type reservoir is used in the program ...

Key element of any soil environmental monitoring is correct reference site. In such big object of monitoring as Moscow megalopolis it cannot be only one reference site but in any case their number must be very limited and each monitoring site have to be very well validated by the previous monitoring investigated data. One of the best candidate for official local reference site of soil environmental monitoring in the northern part of Moscow is the central core of the Forest Experimental Station of the Russian Timir...

Modern universities are not only the educational and research centers. There are here the ideas of sustainability can be developed and implemented most efficiently. Environmental friendliness and saving of resources require the innovative approaches that formed in the university. Hence, along with the popular rankings of effectiveness of education and research activity by the representatives of University of Indonesia was created the Green Metrics World University Ranking. Its participants are hundreds of universi...

Urban ecosystems function and maintenance are closely connected to the humans being, their interests and activities. As a result in many cases are observed serious anthropogenic works, causing a significant impact on the natural processes and conditions. Consequently urban ecosystem services become more specific, requiring more individual approaches for the related processes clarification and assessments. The understanding of such implementation recently is under a broad extension. Practices in the area widely inc...

In paper the gas analyzers of new generation constructed on the basis of semiconductor sensors are considered. Application of the semiconductor gas-sensitive elements allows to solve the main objective of the modern gas analysis ? detection of vapors and gases of the wide list with high stability, the necessary selectivity and sensitivity. The semiconductor sensors allow to find substances in air in a broad range: from trace concentration 10-6 - 10-5 mg/m3 to high 500 - 800 mg/m3, owing to their developed structur...
