The study considers technologies to create information system called «Monitoring of pollutants in Arctic ecosystems» for the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute (MMBI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This research is aimed at designing a database and its web-client to provide remote access. Datasets on radionuclide distribution available at MMBI were analyzed to be included into the database. PostgreSQL and R language packages are shown to be appropriate and efficient solutions for information management infr...

Small rivers play an important role in the development of the hydrographic network and are tributaries of basin-forming rivers. Usually, it is shallow, which largely exposes them to the high impact of anthropogenic load. Anthropogenic pressure on water resources, especially in the Moscow and Moscow region, reached a rather significant level in this period. A critical situation occurs during the low water period, when the rivers switch to groundwater feeding and their runoff becomes minimal. With the formation of r...

An important indicator of the existing and possible pollution of any water area is the content of trace metals in bottom sediments that can characterize the level of anthropogenic load. Analysis of the content of metals in bottom sediments in different parts of the water area made it possible to establish the features of distribution of toxic metals in dependence on natural geochemical processes and to identify the areas that experience the most intensive anthropogenic load. In the paper, estimates of the spatial ...

The impact of civil aviation objects on the environment is characterized by a number of features related to the fact that this kind of anthropogenic activity is rapidly developing, taking on increasing importance in humanity`s life. Also, civil aviation is one of the most important connecting elements of international relations. Improving the efficiency of fuel resources applying, which is one of the priority directions for the country's economy development, increases the environmental safety of the investigated o...
