Governments and corporations are looking for ways to reduce food-grade plastic pollution
The press service of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve announced that the institution's specialists have presented their developments in the field of monitoring natural complexes and creating databases about them using the latest technologies to the scientific community. In particular, a special Web-GIS - a geographic information system - is planned to be created for the reserve this year.
It will be used for internal purposes of the institution and help in the execution of work tasks.During the international conference dedicated to volcanic phenomena at the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, specialists from the Kronotsky Nature Reserve spoke about the opportunities that the new system will open up for work.
The Uzon-Geyser Basin has become a model area for research. It contains everything that Kamchatka is famous for - volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, and unique thermal ecosystems. The Valley of Geysers, the caldera of Uzon volcano, the Valley of Death, and other natural objects are under close attention from the scientific community. That is why the accumulation and analysis of data about them is a particularly important component of reserve science. Scientists will receive information including from aerial photography using quadcopters.
They also use software from the company NextGIS. Using geographic information engineering, specialists will be able to refine and promptly enter data into a unified database. For example, about ongoing geological processes, detailed clarification of the location of old and newly appearing geysers, and the state of the vegetation cover of natural complexes.
