The aim of the research is to return the disturbed lands of mining landscapes to the biosphere foundation in the light of modern knowledge of the role of Earth's soil shell in maintaining the stable state of the biosphere. The methodology has been substantiated and the technology of restoration of disturbed lands (ecological restoration) has been developed in accordance with the concept of natural soil-formation, which is based on the principle of self-organization of natural systems. The data of the long-term mon...

The conceptual approach to the restoration of natural ecosystems (ecological restoration) is to use the idea of adaptive systemic organization of ecosystems, as the driving force of evolution is targeted adaptation of ecosystems, based on feedback, towards enhancing their viability and sustainability. On the basis of the principle of information unity of natural and engineering systems considering natural ecosystems as information-driven and environment conditions as controlling factors, an algorithm for adaptive ...

In accordance with the developed methodology for a comprehensive solution of issues of mineral deposits development in the Russian Arctic zone, a list of criteria has been established that allow evaluating the priority of nuclear power sources in solving problems of power supply to the Russian Arctic regions while developing the deposits and performing a ranking of the various reactor plants. The list is based on information technologies modeling objects, production and processing of raw material and geoecotechnol...

Assessment of mining impact on natural environment is relevant, since open mining, the storage of mining and processing waste, the metallurgical processing of the concentrates produced are accompanied by aerosol mining-induced pollution of the atmosphere and natural environments as a result of the release of fine mineral particles. According to satellite observations for 17 years, aerosol mining-induced pollution and the state of the vegetation cover in the Kola mining complex (Russia, Murmansk region) have been s...
