Computer technology for Arctic seas water masses analysis is presented. It facilitates data obtained both as remote sensing and in situ. Modern methods and software tools are described as parts of detailed technology in case of one spatial distribution assigned to particular time stamp map and time series of them. Open data from MODIS Aqua satellite project and expeditions listed in World Ocean Database are treated with open source programming tools (R/Python software stacks). Sea surface temperature analysis is c...

The article is devoted to the development of software tools to support elimination of wildfires in small regions lacking governmental financial resources and using volunteer help for in situ and remote activities. The latter activities include not only training but also monitoring and even creation of scripts, databases, web applications to simplify governmental firefighting service work and make some of their professional cases public. Murmansk regional forest firefighting service (located in northern Russia) giv...

The study considers technologies to create information system called В«Monitoring of pollutants in Arctic ecosystemsВ» 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 in...
