Avalanches are hazardous natural phenomena, just like earthquakes, floods, mudslides, etc. Every year, avalanches claim lives of hundreds of people and destroy economically important facilities, mainly motor roads and railroads. Prediction of the danger of avalanche is a part of a complex of measures...

The article discusses the state of cloud physics and active influences exerted on them. The current period of time is considered as a transition for this scientific direction: the stage of studying "elementary" processes in clouds has been completed and a new stage of formation and development of clouds,...

The paper presents a mathematical model describing formation of the spectra of particles in a convective cloud. A method for calculating absorption and scattering of monochrome microwave radiation in the cloud environment is described. The cloud model describes drop coagulation, accretion, drop freezing,...

The results of monitoring of the surface atmosphere temperature in the Elbrus region for the period of 1961-2017, including the period of intensive climate warming (1976-2017), are presented. It has been established that in summer seasons average temperatures have increased significantly. The growth...

The possibility of using an auxiliary ellipsoid to reduce the results of geodetic measurements with the aim of transferring coordinates to the surface of the reference ellipsoid is considered. An analysis of the accuracy showed that such a technique would reduce the effect of steep line dodging

The article presents the observations of the landslide-prone northern slope of the Sunzhenskiy range to the south of the village of Podgorny in the Staropromyslovskiy district, Grozny using the kinoteodolite method in dynamics. According to the observations of the slope, it was possible to predict the...

Over the last 300-400 years the forests of the forest-steppe zone inRussian Federation have changed greatly, as a result of human activity, which has led to a significant decrease in their biosphere functions, the main of which is carbon sequestration. The carbon balance in forest ecosystems of managed...

Longitudinal vibrations of vertical bar of harmonic and random disturbance are considered. Mathematical models of free, forced harmonic and random vibrations are described. The methods of d'Alembert, separation of variables and finite differences are used. To determine the eigenvalues of boundary value...

The territory of the Urengoy deposit is characterized by the in-stability of thermodynamic equilibrium of geological environ-ment, due to the existence of permafrost. The article investigates the geological section of the area, its oil and gas potential, analyzes the geological and physical information....

This work is devoted to geomorphological studies of the structures of the Klyazma River basin and factors of modern exogenous morphogenesis in the river basin and its morphological parts. The landscapes of the basins of small rivers have been experiencing anthropogenic load for a long time, so the processes...

This paper presents geodynamics of the Southern Cis-Urals region. It focuses on seismicity induced by hydrocarbon production by summarizing the published case studies. Natural and man-made changes in bowels of the Earth are usually accompanied by tectonic movements and deformations of earth's surface,...

The article provides a brief overview of the historical stages of the development of geographic information systems and describes the experience of their use in ecological and faunistic studies. The examples of using GIS for the ecological, geographical and spatial analysis of different groups of animals...
