Shrinking of intermontane basins and expansion their flanking ranges by reverse faulting backthrusting in two counter-dipping systems is a typical mechanism crustal shortening mountain building Central Asia. This realized along the Kurai Fault Zone (southeastern Gorny Altai). Motions on fault maintained thrusting Range Kubadru Uplift Basin sediments caused growth foreberg before front. Forberg separates narrow Aktash from Basin. The paleoearthquakes were generated faults that delineate...

The developing of hydrological modeling under the conditions a non-stationary climate, changing landscape river basins, and lack observational data, asks use new such as terrain analysis data on structure systems. advent high-resolution digital elevation models has opened up opportunities in modeling. However, with modern requires development software tools. In past decade, structural-hydrographic systems, scientific field, faced blurring and, potentially, loss its research subject, main...

The river runoff regime significantly changed worldwide in the end of twentieth – beginning twenty-first century. In European part Russia current changes are manifested different ways various regions. main trend that is observed for most basins 'levelling' annual hydrographs. interception melt water during occasional thaw floods has resulted a decrease spring months. Simultaneously an increase low period winter and summer occurred. Reducing depth soil freezing, caused by warm winters, lead...

ABSTRACT Palaeoseismology studies the footprints of ancient earthquakes to improve knowledge about modern seismicity territory. A ground‐penetrating radar (GPR), among other geophysical methods, is used for quick determination shallow stratigraphy – displaced, oblique layers within fault zone. GPR data interpretation from diverse and complex reflection patterns zone heavily depends on interpreter's experience. The range different parameters in which this method can be successfully applied...

Water regime of rivers is an important characteristic the surface land waters as a natural environment component and object economic use. The reaction rivers’ water to climatic changes, including case extreme hydro-meteorological events, has not been studied carefully yet. It necessary adapt part national economy current trends characteristics ice regime. analysis inventory these are required make appropriate decisions. authors present methodology results mapping European Russia its modern...

The article focuses on the study of flood flow changes rivers European Territory Russia (ETR) in last thirty years. This is an extremely important problem, as with floods, whose contribution to structure annual recent decades has been increasing, most destructive floods are associated. On example 55 representative hydrological gauge stations located ETR regions different conditions runoff formation, features both summer and winter formation considered. It established that over past years...

The development of digital elevation models (DEM) and methods its analysis expanded application in various geographical researches, for hydrological modeling particular. In this paper we present a procedure harmonizing DEM hydrographic network automated basin delineation at small scale. It is shown that the harmonization necessary step modeling, requirements to are defined, as well minimum data set needed reliable harmonization. This includes

Imagery obtained from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is widely used for land surface modelling. Recent research prove that digital elevation models (DEMs) created UAV imagery are characterized by a high rate of accuracy and reliability. Most these studies focused on assessing absolute the DEMs, but relative elevations (i.e., reproducing local differences within DEM) also should be considered. In this paper, we focus precision replicating in DEMs derived captured via UAVs without precise...

The Gorny Altai is part of the system intracontinental Cenozoic orogens that originated from Eurasia-India collision. There crustal contraction, which followed by numerous earthquakes, and highest concentration earthquake sources observed in south-eastern region. paleoearthquake surface ruptures Kubadru Fault Zone was studied at three representative sites using GPR method conditions weakly consolidated coarse clastic deposits upper section permafrost development. UAV aerial photography...

The paper considers GIS software which may be utilized for airborne lidar data processing. Software list includes proprietary MicroStation with TerraScan plugin, Global Mapper, ArcGIS, ERDAS Imagine, LAStools, as well free and open source SAGA, WhiteboxTools, PDAL.io. Possibilities of import-export, 2D 3D visualization, point cloud editing derivation datasets are examined each software. Computational efficiency assessment is performed the procedure interpolation elevation in different As a...

To use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for obtaining digital elevation models (DEM) and terrain (DTM) is currently actively practiced in scientific practical purposes. This technology has many advantages: efficiency, ease of use, the possibility application on relatively small area. allows us to perform qualitative quantitative studies progress dangerous relief-forming processes assess their consequences quickly. In this paper, we describe process a model relief slope located bank Protva...

Glaciers of the Verkhneangarsky mountain range are discovered in 2017-2018 and require detailed investigation cataloging. This group glaciers includes corrie morphological types, and, according to sizes, they should be qualified as small forms glaciation. Four glacial formations were found during field studies together with several snow patches stone glaciers; these four measured described. The temperature ice this region was investigations. Data on close surface permafrost layer explain one...

The eco-geomorphological assessment of the projected and operated major pipelines in European part Russia, Siberia, Far East shows that linear sections traces have a newlycreated technogenic (anthropogenic) relief. Changes morphology relief forms composed weakly compacted artificial ground lead to manifestation relief-forming processes. As rule,paragenesis exogenous processes (for example, slope erosion landslide), which was not characteristic pre-existing natural conditions (surface slopes,...

The purpose of the study is to reconstruct evolution bodies water on fjard and skerrie shores by their uplift. object Lake Kislo-Sladkoe Karelian Coast White Sea (Russia). It was established that a narrow strait with fast tidal currents up 600-500 years ago; about 100-150 ago it became semi-enclosed lagoon; since 1960s isolation progressed such stage communication sea now limited monthly reflux during syzygy tides. Most time lake stratified, autumn mixing occurs average once every two...

Summary This study presents the new data from faults within Upper Pleistocene-Holocene deposits, presented by pebbles, cobbles, and boulders with a coarse-medium sandy matrix. Such sediments produce complex diffuse wave patterns on GPR data, it is challenging to recognise faulting among them. Thus, we solved direct problem of detecting fault zone features using numerical modelling. Comparing simulation results field (GPR profiles trench wall sketches), proposed summary signs profiles.

The Kurai Fault Zone have generated paleoearthquakes with Mw = 6.6–7.6 and ESI 2007 shaking intensities of VIII to XI. occurred ca. 6.3, 5.8, 3.2, 1.3 ka BP, in the second half 18th centuries AD. ERT GPR data reveals resistivity structure area seismogenic faults traceable depths 40–50 m. conclusions above must be taken into account when design constructing gas pipeline from Russia People’s Republic China.
