The review of proceedings gives the concrete examples how to solve problems of vegetation mapping using GIS, it is focused on publications providing some examples of GIS application to the vegetation studies. The review is organized into thematic sections according the field of application of Geoinformatics: 1.Vegetation, 2. Dynamics, state and ecological functions of vegetation, 3. Biodiversity and its assessment, 4. Plant resources, 5. Monitoring of vegetation. The Vegetation section contains publications on vegetation studies and mapping performed for some regions of Russia — the North of the Far East, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Tyva Republic, Central Siberia, and others. More than half of the articles are devoted to vegetation dynamics, state and ecological functions of vegetation at different hierarchical levels. Some papers present the results of the studies based on new types of information sources (photographs) and visualization methods (animation). The use of geoinformation technologies to study biological diversity was included in the agenda of five conference sessions and later reflected in more than ten publications. They cover the development and creation of GIS, the use of geoinformation technologies for the analysis, assessment and mapping of biodiversity, for its monitoring and conservation. Quite a large number of articles are devoted to the study of forest resources. GIS technologies were used to solve problems of forest management, cartometric analysis of forested areas, determination of taxation indicators, systematization of forest conditions, etc. Examples of geoinformation versatile research for medicinal plant resources are given to assess their quality, resources and productivity in the region, to identify growing areas, including ones to be protected. Most of the published materials concerning to vegetation monitoring mainly relate to forests and forest management.

. Optimization of the socio-ecological conditions of modern urbanized territories is the most important task of ensuring sustainable urban development. For a comprehensive study of the socio-environmental conditions of the territory of Central Russia, the data of the Federal Information Fund for Socio-Hygienic Monitoring, conducted on the basis of the Federal Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, was analyzed. The analysis of the obtained data shows the need to create a special system for optimizing socio-environmental conditions, which will be based on socio-environmental monitoring based on geoinformation technologies. This monitoring should be a multifunctional subsystem that interacts with other subsystems of the unified state environmental monitoring system. The main objective of the measures aimed at optimizing the socio-ecological conditions of the cities of Central Russia is to minimize the content of pollutants in the atmosphere (as the main natural environment that forms environmental risk zones) – derivatives of the technological pressure of the city. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to implement 3 main tasks on the territory of large cities of Central Russia: 1. To modernize the transport networks of cities with an increase in their capacity, the quality of the road surface, the average speed of vehicles. 2. To minimize atmospheric emissions of thermal power plants and a number of other industrial facilities. 3. To carry out measures for greening the urban space.

With the intensive development of industry and population growth, environmental protection and the correct use of natural resources are of great importance. For a proper assessment, monitoring and management of the environmental situation, it is necessary to possess cartographic, environmental and other information about all its components, analyze this information and make the right decisions. There are various ways to solve this problem. The article provides a brief description of the method that we applied to assess the ecological state in one of the sections of the Mtkvari (Kura), in particular, the content of heavy metals in the waters of the Mtkvari (Kura) River in the Zagesi – Red Bridge section. The degree of anthropogenic impact was assessed by methods of mathematical modeling and modern technologies of the geographic information system. In the mathematical processing of information, a whole range of mathematical modeling tools were used - starting with mathematical statistics and ending with a complex model. The main functions of the geographic information system were also used: information organization, its processing, analysis, verification, visualization, and etc. As a result, thematic maps were created, that clearly show the degree of pollution of the river section, as well as the dynamics of changes in the concentration of heavy metals. This method can be used for environmental assessment of various objects. With its help, it is possible to carry out environmental monitoring simply and at low cost.

Abstract The development of modern IT tools is a key vector of development in the management of natural hazards and geosciences. Thanks to the creation and implementation of geographic information systems (GIS) and technologies, monitoring of the area is greatly facilitated and the accounting of natural resources becomes streamlined. Geoinformation systems allow to take into account the social and environmental situation, accurately determining the qualitative and quantitative characteristics, structure, and location of objects. This allows the authorities at different levels to develop social infrastructure most effectively and correctly locate objects of it. In addition, geographic information systems are very effective for determining the location of an object. The requested information is provided in the form of detailed maps with additional details in texts, graphs, and diagrams. GIS tools are not a single program, but a package of programs, they have different interfaces and capabilities of working with data. Usually, the one that is best suited for the task is selected from this software package. An example of the choice of effective tools and related research in work with BigGeoData are presented in the article about aero monitoring use case.

Full textAbstract:
Among the environmental consequences of the illegal production of amber, the experts single out the degradation of zonal soils and underlying bed rocks, destruction of fertile humus and eluvial horizons of podzolic soils, root systems of trees, swamp formation, change in groundwater levels, destruction of forest resources, and change in the migration processes of the region’s fauna. The most serious ecological and economic problems are caused by the unauthorized production of amber in Rivne, Volyn and Zhytomyr oblasts, where the illegal production of amber is carried out by open-pit and hydromechanical methods.
The main tasks set forth in the article are: to analyze the places and conditions of amber production, to define its influence on the environment components, to identify the objects of natural resources use by means of Earth remote sensing methods.
The article deals with the development of modern information technology for identifying the places and consequences of amber production in the western regions of Polissia based on the methods of satellite environmental monitoring and tools of geoinformation systems. The production technologies and the manifestation of their ecological impacts are described. The environmental impact assessment of amber production is not possible without defining the potential operational risks, identifying the locations and extent of environmental damage. Due to local peculiarities of amber production management, it is rather difficult to fix the topographic and geodetic parameters of the manifestations of these effects, which complicates the planning of prevention and elimination measures. The methods of Earth remote sensing (ERS) from space and geoinformation systems (GIS) can define these parameters with high accuracy, reliability and efficiency, which will enable the efficient monitoring of the environmental components degradation.

Full textAbstract:
General environmental management, which involves monitoring and modeling, requires the information of the Land surface temperature (LST) status of area concerned. Land surface temperature has gained relevance recognition over the years and there is need to develop approaches that can determine LST using satellite images. This study was conducted in Akure which has experienced rapid urbanization in recent time. The study utilized Landsat data of 1984, 1990, 2000, 2003, 2014 and 2016. The temperature data were derived from Landsat images using remote sensing algorithms for assessing LST from thermal infrared (TIR) data (bands 6 and 10). These data were processed and analyzed using tools in Idrisi and ArcGIS software systems. Satellite-derived land surface temperatures were validated with in-situ temperature data. The results revealed parabolic increase in temperature over the years and the changing pattern was investigated by adopting existing ecological indexes.. The validation operation revealed average bias value of between remote sensing- and ground-based data. This implies that remote sensing technique is reliable and therefore could be employed for large scale temperature mapping. The results could be used in mitigating urban heat island effectssuch as heat-related stress and ill-timed human deaths.

Full textAbstract:
The rangelands or semi-arid and arid regions of Western Australia occupy about 87 percent of the land area. Pastoral grazing of managed livestock, mainly sheep and cattle, occurs over much of this area, with an increasing proportion being allocated to the state conservation estate. Rangeland monitoring began at the local scale in the 1950s and since then has been closely tied to the needs of the pastoral industry. By 1992 a regional-scale, ground-based system was in place after two decades of trialling precursor techniques. The state-wide pastoral monitoring programme, known as the Western Australian Rangeland Monitoring System (WARMS), helps to monitor the state’s natural vegetation and soil resources. Change in soil and vegetation attributes through time, in response to climatic conditions, herbivore grazing, fire and other natural and anthropogenic drivers in the rangelands is known as change in range condition or range trend. When range condition is used in an ecological context, as it is in this research, an improving trend implies an improvement in ecological integrity or ecosystem health. In contrast, a declining trend implies a reduction in integrity, otherwise known as natural resource degradation. The principal objective of this study is to produce a regional-scale, long-term quantitative assessment of range condition change in the southern rangelands of Western Australia, using WARMS transect data. Previous analyses of the WARMS database have examined selected vegetation parameters, but this study is the first to calculate a single integrated range condition index. The assessment covers an area of approximately 760,000 km2, stretching southeast from the southern Pilbara region through the Gascoyne-Murchison and Goldfields regions to the Nullarbor region on the Great Australia Bight.WARMS is designed to provide data and information for assessing regional and long-term changes in rangeland ecological condition. It consists of two principal parts: (1) numerous permanent field monitoring sites and (2) a large relational database. By the end of 2006, there were 980 WARMS sites located on 377 pastoral leases (stations) in the southern rangelands of Western Australia. Average lease size is 202,190 ha and the largest is 714,670 ha. The total area occupied by leases (pastoral plus leases converted to the conservation estate) is approximately 76,250,000 ha. WARMS sites are at an average density of 2.6 sites per lease or 1 site per 77,780 ha of pastoral rangeland. Field-recorded metrics include 11 soil surface parameters and four plant parameters (location on belt-transect, species, height and maximum canopy extent). The field data collection protocol has remained essentially unchanged since 1992 and new field data are captured at each site on a 5-year cycle. This is the most extensive quantitative, ground-based rangeland monitoring system in Australia. This assessment of range condition is based a suite of soil and vegetation indices derived from the WARMS transect field metrics. Seven basic indices have been derived and algorithmically combined into three higher-order indices, one for each of three components of ecological integrity: composition, function and structure. The three indices are then combined into an overall index of ecological health called the Shrubland Range Condition (SRC) Index. In addition, the indices have been assigned to particular time-slices based on the field acquisition date of their component metrics, allowing the calculation of change through time.
The combination of the hierarchical index framework, the use of time-slices and GIS mapping techniques provided a suitable analysis platform for the elucidation of spatial and temporal change in rangeland ecological integrity or health at WARMS sites. The nature of change in the SRC Index and the landscape function, vegetation structure and vegetation composition sub-indices has enabled possible causes to be inferred. The patterns of range condition and change are complex at all landscape scales. However, based on analysis of the WARMS sites, range condition is considerably more variable, in space and time, in the northern parts of the southern rangelands compared to the southern parts, with the exception of the Nullarbor region. Through time, the Ashburton and Gascoyne regions consistently demonstrate the largest area (site clusters) of change and the greatest magnitude of change. For many areas, range trend has fluctuated markedly between improvement and decline since the mid-1990s. However, there are two large clusters of sites which show continuing decline through more than two decades. The legacy of historical degradation and ongoing poor land stewardship (principally through over-stocking) is hindering the widespread recovery in range condition, despite more than a decade of good rainfall seasons. An uncommon exception to this sad story is a group of sites located in the upper region of the Gascoyne catchment, where there has been almost continuous improvement over the same period. This work also provides empirical evidence of a fundamental difference in the behaviour of surface water-flows in different catchment types.
Using the Landscape Function Factor (LFF), there is conspicuous regional differentiation of sites located in exorheic catchments from those located in endorheic-arheic catchments. In general, sites located in the coastal draining exorheic catchments exhibit greater rates of soil erosion compared to sites located in the other internally draining catchment types; the different erosional regimes are probably related to the nature of the ultimate and local base-levels associated with each catchment type. This has important implications for the long-term management of the rangelands of Western Australia.

Problems of urban areas during the development of oil and gas fields (on the example of the city of Boryslav)// Oil and gas industry of Ukraine. 2013. № 2.The territory of Ukraine has a large number of wells, as the history of hydrocarbon production dates back to XVI - XVII centuries. The western region of Ukraine is represented by several oil and gas regions: Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi and Zakarpattia regions, which has a total of 91 deposits. Special attention in Western Ukraine should be paid to the Boryslav oil and gas field, which began to be developed in 1854. Since the oil was in layers at a depth of only tens, or sometimes about hundreds of meters, the production was conducted through primitive oil wells - pits. In those years in Borislav there were about 5 thousand such pits with a depth of 35-40 m. In 1870, oil production in Boryslav reached 10.6 thousand tons. There were about 800 small businesses, which employed almost 10 thousand workers [1]. Foreign firms from the USA, Canada, Belgium, France, Germany for the purpose of enrichment carried out exhaustive exploitation of deposits, respectively, without paying attention to labor protection, care of the environment and ignoring keeping records of wells in the documentation. Thus chaotically there were all new places of oil production and in a terrible state remained abandoned primitive wells.
Територія України має велику кількість свердловин, оскільки історія видобутку вуглеводнів сягає XVI - XVII століть. Західний регіон України представлений кількома нафтогазоносними регіонами: Львівською, Івано-Франківською, Чернівецькою та Закарпатською областями, що має загалом 91 родовище. Особливу увагу в Західній Україні слід приділити Бориславському нафтогазовому родовищу, яке почали розробляти в 1854 році. Оскільки нафта була шарами на глибині лише десятки, а іноді і близько сотні метрів, видобуток вівся через примітивні нафтові свердловини - ями. У ті роки в Бориславі було близько 5 тис. таких ям глибиною 35-40 м. У 1870 р. Видобуток нафти в Бориславі досяг 10,6 тис. тонн. Налічувалося близько 800 малих підприємств, на яких працювало майже 10 тис. робітників [1]. Іноземні фірми з США, Канади, Бельгії, Франції, Німеччини з метою збагачення проводили вичерпну експлуатацію родовищ, відповідно, не звертаючи уваги на охорону праці, догляд за навколишнім середовищем та ігноруючи ведення записів свердловин у документації. Таким чином хаотично з'явилися все нові місця видобутку нафти і в жахливому стані залишилися занедбані примітивні свердловини.

Шляхи вирішення екологічних проблем, стратегія екологічної безпеки і сталого розвитку все ще залишаються невизначеними на муніципальному рівні. Така ситуація вимагає докорінної зміни ставлення місцевих органів влади до процесів управління природокористуванням і природоохоронною діяльністю.Ways of solving ecological problems, the strategy of ecological safety and sustainable development are still uncertain at the municipal level. This situation requires a radical change in the attitude of local authorities to the processes of environmental management and environmental activities.

Дисертація на здобуття вченого ступеня доктора технічних наук. Спеціальність 05.09.01 – Електричні машини і апарати. – Кафедра електричних машин Національного технічного університету "Харківський політехнічний інститут", Харків, 2020. Дисертація присвячена науково-прикладної проблеми забезпечення надійної роботи сучасних ТГ на блоках ТЕС і АЕС, дослідженню особливостей роботи ТГ, які протягом тривалого часу перебувають в експлуатації, продовженню термінів їх експлуатації, підвищенню конкурентоспроможності нових ТГ на світовому ринку. Розроблені наукові концепції, що підтверджують перспективність виконання робіт з вдосконалення ТГ з урахуванням загальносвітових екологічних проблем, активного розвитку і зна-чною державної підтримки відновлюваних джерел енергії. З використанням теорії цик-лічного розвитку встановлено, що для України є перспективним стабілізаційне-стагнаційний сценарій, який передбачає подальше вдосконалення і розвиток теплової електроенергетики (ТЕС і АЕС), вдосконалення і підвищення потужності ТГ. Проведено комплекс досліджень щодо вдосконалення ТГ: підвищення потужності в одиниці виконання, зниження їх масогабаритних показників, вдосконалення систем охолодження, використання нових технологій і матеріалів. Складена структурно-логічна схема виконання робіт з підтримки науково-технічної конкурентоспроможності вітчизняних ТГ з урахуванням технічного рівня заводу-виробника і технічних можливостей супутніх галузей в напрямках зменшення питомої маси ТГ, заміни водневої системи охолодження на повітряну, збільшення потужності нових ТГ в одиниці виконання і потужності ТГ, що вже працюють на блоках електростанцій, без зміни габаритів. Доведе-на необхідність під час визначення черговості включення ТГ в енергосистему враховувати не тільки собівартість електроенергії, але і дані їх стану, а також те, що підтриму-вати номінальні параметри енергосистеми України доцільно турбогенераторами поту-жністю 200-300 МВт, встановленими на ТЕС, і використання для такого регулювання турбогенераторів АЕС неприпустимо. Виконано порівняння і показано наскільки і чому вітчизняні ТГ поступаються за питомою масою ТГ провідних світових фірм, чому вони важче зарубіжних аналогів. Вирішення цих питань дозволяє підвищити надійність ТГ, які тривалий час в експлуатації, і дозволяє впроваджувати перспективні рішення для підтримки конкурентоспроможності вітчизняних ТГ на світовому ринку. Запропонована методика комплексного системного контролю стану ТГ в період тривалої експлуатації з урахуванням особливостей режимів роботи енергетичних мереж і переході до проведення ремонтів по фактичному стану, а не за графіком планово-попереджувальних ремонтів. Запропоновані і обґрунтовані напрями зниження масогабаритних показників ТГ шляхом використання більш перспективних технологій, стандартних профілів і нових матеріалів при проведенні робіт з вдосконалення їх неактивної зони. Проаналізоване розвиток, стан і перспективи підвищення надійності систем охолодження, запропоновані напрями створення і діагностики сучасних охолоджувачів. Розроблено та науково обґрунтований метод контролю стану ТГ в режимі on-line, запропоновано вважати найбільш інформативним показником рівень вібрації, що скорочує необхідну додаткову кількість каналів контролю і знижує навантаження на операторів блоків електростанцій. Отримані в роботі наукові результати базуються на експериментальних даних, що були отримані при сервісному обслуговуванні і проведенні ремонтів ТГ на блоках електростанцій України та інших країн. Розглянуті проблеми і запропоновані напрямки поліпшення професійної підготовки робітників ТЕС і АЕС, визначені шляхи підвищення їхньої економічної зацікавленості для утримання в націо-нальній електроенергетиці.The thesis is submitted for the academic degree of doctor of technical sciences. Specialty 05.09.01 – Electrical machines and apparatuses. – Department of Electrical Machines of National Technical University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute", Kharkov, 2020. The dissertation is devoted to the scientific and applied problem of ensuring reliable operation of modern turbogenerators (TG) at thermal and nuclear power plants (TPP and NPP) units, research of TG features, which are in operation for a long time, extension of their operation, increasing the competitiveness of new TG on the world market. Scientific concepts have been developed that confirm the prospects for the implementation of work to improve TG, taking into account global environmental problems, active development and significant government support for renewable energy sources. Using the theory of cyclical development, it is established that for Ukraine is a promising stabilization and stagnation scenario, which provides for further improvement and development of thermal power plants (TPP and NPP), improvement and increase of TG capacity. A set of studies was carried out to improve the TG: increase of capacity in unit of execution, decrease in their mass and size indicators, improvement of cooling systems, use of new technologies and materials. Taking into account the technical level of the manufacturer and the technical capabilities of related industries, a structural and logical scheme of work to maintain scientific and technical competitiveness of domestic TGs was drawn up. The research was performed to reduce the specific weight of TG, to replace the hydrogen cooling system with air, to increase the capacity of new TG and TG already operating at power plants. At the same time there was a requirement to preserve the dimensions. Proven need to take into account not only the cost of electricity, but also data on their condition in determining the order of inclusion of TG in the power system. It is proved that it is expedient to maintain the nominal parameters of the power system of Ukraine with turbo-generators with a capacity of 200-300 MW, which are installed at thermal power plants. The use of NPP turbogenerators for such regulation is unacceptable. A comparison is made and it is shown to what extent and why domestic turbogenerators are inferior in specific weight to t TGs of the world's leading companies, why they are heavier than foreign counterparts. The decision of these questions allows to increase TG reliability which are in operation for a long time, allows to implement perspective decisions for maintenance of competitiveness of domestic TGs in the world market. A method of complex system monitoring of turbogenerators, which have been operating at power plants for a long time, was proposed. The method took into account the peculiarities of the turbogenerators on the modern power grid and the transition to repairs on the actual condition, rather than on the schedule of planned and preventive repairs. The directions of reduction of mass-dimensional indicators of turbogenerators by means of improvement of their inactive zone are offered and proved. To do this, it is pro-posed to use more promising technologies, standard profiles and new materials. The development, condition and prospects of increase of reliability of cooling systems are analyzed; the directions of creation and diagnostics of modern coolers are offered. Developed and scientifically substantiated method of monitoring the state of TG in the on-line mode; it is proposed to consider the level of vibration as the most informative indicator; this reduces the required additional number of control channels and reduces the load on power plant operators. The scientific results obtained in this work are based on experimental data obtained during service and repairs of turbogenerators at power plants in Ukraine and other countries. Problems are considered and directions of improvement of professional training of workers of TPP and NPP are offered, ways of increase of their economic interest for maintenance in the national electric power industry are defined.

Video surveillance has been widely used in various applications. The master-slave imaging system architecture can provide both a large field of view (FOV) and high resolution images. A master camera is responsible for monitoring large FOV, object detection, and guiding the slave camera. A slave camera is usually a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, which rotates and zooms in to acquire high resolution images of targeted objects. In traditional approach, a camera with wide angle or fish-eye lens is usually used as the master camera. However, such an approach is limited in applications requiring high resolution image. Instead, we propose a new kind of master camera, which is a panoramic camera set integrated with eight webcams. We employ the panorama technology to provide video images with large FOV, low image distortion and high resolution simultaneously. Moreover, we develop a new geometrical mapping method to achieve coordinate transformation between the panoramic camera set and the PTZ camera. We also apply the interactive multiple model to improve the estimation of the targeted object state, which facilitates the PTZ camera to center on the targeted object for proper image acquisition. The proposed system has been applied to pedestrian and ecological pool monitoring to test its performance. The developed master-slave imaging system provides high resolution images and the trajectory of the targeted objects. The panoramic camera is capable of acquiring video images of 4390 × 587 resolution at rate of 10 fps. The mapping error is around 0.5 degree. The overall tracking rate is about 70%. The high resolution images and the recorded trajectories are useful in further analyses of the behaviors of targeted objects.

Recently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) technologies have been rapidly developed. WSNs have been widely utilized in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. If a back-end monitoring technology accompany with WSNs, it can be used to detect the specific events of WSNs. For example, with unusually high or low temperature and humidity, the back-end monitoring system can aim at the specific events and prepare for the follow-up operations of environmental control and emergency notification. However, the causation of the specific events may also be resulted from sensor calibration error or sensor failure. In order to avoid the false positives of the monitoring system, it must establish a mechanism of autonomous detection to prevent similar situations. This work instanced an oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) ecological monitoring network, and it designed a real-time monitoring system. This system can send warning messages to the correspondents when the pest surged. In addition, when a sensor reading error occurs, this system can accurately classified as a fault event, and notify the correspondents to conduct system maintenance. The oriental fruit fly is the major pest that attacks fruit in Taiwan. In the past, the monitor techniques mostly depended on manual measurement. Due to limited budgets on manpower, manual measurements cannot acquire much environmental data at the same time, thereby losing the immediateness of subsequent data analysis, so it is almost impossible to execute appropriate pest control in the right time at the right place. In order to replace previous manual measurements, this work combined GSM technologies with WSN technologies to develop an automated real-time monitoring system which can measure environmental parameters for cultivated land. The mechanism of autonomous detection used self-organizing map to detect the parameters of specific events. This work achieves three primary goals: 1) the sensors operate normally; 2) the sensors detect the infestation of the oriental fruit; and 3) the system detects unusual sensor readings. Two monitoring systems of the oriental fruit fly have been actually deployed in two orange orchards at Yuanshan, Yilan, on July 2 and Sept. 8, 2010, respectively. The systems can monitor the oriental fruit fly in the orchards and use self-organizing map to establish classification models for four seasons. The models will classify the readings based on three primary goals set by this work. The experimental results presented that the efficiency of classification models is excellent, and it can help the monitoring system identify whether an error in the monitoring data occurs to achieve agricultural automation.

The city is a complex system in which all components of the ecosystem interact with each other. In the course of the constant collection of information about the ecological situation, significant amounts of data are accumulated, the combination of which in a single information space provides new opportunities for obtaining new knowledge about the study area. The paper presents a study of the ecological component of the urban environment quality on the example of Krasnoyarsk city using open spatial data. Since one of the main factors for the assessment is the natural and ecological situation in the city, the following quality indicators were selected: the nature of thermal anomalies, air and land surface temperature, relief, number of storeys of residential and industrial buildings, concentration of suspended particles. The data on the land surface temperature were prepared using the Landsat-8 satellite data from 2013 to 2020, cloudless scenes were selected during the snowless period, which amounts to 30 scenes per city territory. The Open Street Map database was used to determine the number of storeys and types of all city structures. To achieve the goals, the authors selected the necessary vector layers for analyzing the urban environment, carried out a search and download of data on the air temperature and the land surface temperature, organized a single information space for geoinformation analysis across the Krasnoyarsk city. As a result of the geoinformation analysis, the search for relationships between objects was carried out, a comparison of data on one indicator from different monitoring sources was made. A vector polygonal layer has been created from small segments on the territory of the city that are more homogeneous in terms of buildings and relief features to search for relationships. Sets of layers where seasonal thermal urban anomalies are displayed have been created, the ratio of stable elevated temperatures to local climatic zones has been found, and existing sources have been evaluated regarding assessment of atmospheric air in relation to stable heat islands.

Full textAbstract:
A fundamental responsibility of the National Park Service (NPS) is to ensure that park resources are preserved, protected, and managed in consideration of the resources themselves and for the benefit and enjoyment by the public. Through the inventory, monitoring, and study of park resources, we gain a greater understanding of the scope, significance, distribution, and management issues associated with these resources and their use. This baseline of natural resource information is available to inform park managers, scientists, stakeholders, and the public about the conditions of these resources and the factors or activities which may threaten or influence their stability. There are several different categories of geologic or stratigraphic units (supergroup, group, formation, member, bed) which represent a hierarchical system of classification. The mapping of stratigraphic units involves the evaluation of lithologies, bedding properties, thickness, geographic distribution, and other factors. If a new mappable geologic unit is identified, it may be described and named through a rigorously defined process that is standardized and codified by the professional geologic community (North American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature 2005). In most instances when a new geologic unit such as a formation is described and named in the scientific literature, a specific and well-exposed section of the unit is designated as the type section or type locality (see Definitions). The type section is an important reference section for a named geologic unit which presents a relatively complete and representative profile. The type or reference section is important both historically and scientifically, and should be protected and conserved for researchers to study and evaluate in the future. Therefore, this inventory of geologic type sections in NPS areas is an important effort in documenting these locations in order that NPS staff recognize and protect these areas for future studies. The documentation of all geologic type sections throughout the 423 units of the NPS is an ambitious undertaking. The strategy for this project is to select a subset of parks to begin research for the occurrence of geologic type sections within particular parks. The focus adopted for completing the baseline inventories throughout the NPS was centered on the 32 inventory and monitoring networks (I&M) established during the late 1990s. The I&M networks are clusters of parks within a defined geographic area based on the ecoregions of North America (Fenneman 1946; Bailey 1976; Omernik 1987). These networks share similar physical resources (geology, hydrology, climate), biological resources (flora, fauna), and ecological characteristics. Specialists familiar with the resources and ecological parameters of the network, and associated parks, work with park staff to support network level activities (inventory, monitoring, research, data management). Adopting a network-based approach to inventories worked well when the NPS undertook paleontological resource inventories for the 32 I&M networks. The network approach is also being applied to the inventory for the geologic type sections in the NPS. The planning team from the NPS Geologic Resources Division who proposed and designed this inventory selected the Greater Yellowstone Inventory and Monitoring Network (GRYN) as the pilot network for initiating this project. Through the research undertaken to identify the geologic type sections within the parks of the GRYN methodologies for data mining and reporting on these resources were established. Methodologies and reporting adopted for the GRYN have been used in the development of this type section inventory for the Klamath Inventory & Monitoring Network. The goal of this project is to consolidate information pertaining to geologic type sections which occur within NPS-administered areas, in order that this information is available throughout the NPS to inform park managers...
