Geomatics for Environmental Monitoring, Analysis and Forecast

Abstract

We suggest geomatic technology for monitoring natural processes, which is implemented on three web GIS platforms: (1) http://distcomp.ru/geo/arctic/ —monitoring the hydroecological situation in the Arctic, (2) http://distcomp.ru/geo/2/, http://distcomp.ru/geo/3/ —analysis of seismic fields and (3) http://distcomp.ru/geo/prognosis/ —automatic prediction of earthquakes. Platforms combine two levels of geodata analysis. The first level supports automatic data processing and simple analysis tools that are suitable for any Internet user. The second level is designed for detailed data analysis performed by a specialist. Thus, users of the platform have the opportunity to receive preliminary information about the processes in the environment and conduct research.
