Abstract: Analysis of regional changes in climatic parameters and moistening conditions is a necessary task for obtaining objective data on changes in landscapes. The article analyzes long-term changes in a complex of climatic variables on the south of the Central Russian Upland of the East European Plain in the last decades of the 20th century–the…

Climate and Russian Highways
Changes in Meteorological Risk Factors for Highways in European Russia in Recent Decades Abstract An analysis of changes in meteorological risk factors on highways during the cold season over the past four decades is conducted. Based on high-resolution ERA5-Land reanalysis data, assessments of frequency of occurrence heavy snowfalls frequency, transitions of air temperature through 0°С,…
The Use of Earth Remote Sensing Technologies for Solving Geological Problems in Natural Areas of Russia
Abstract The use of Earth remote sensing techniques for geological research has become an integral part of today’s work related to searching for and exploring mineral deposits. However, its application is limited by both natural and technical constraints. The main barriers to using remote sensing in geology are considered. Dense vegetation, woodlands, clouds, atmospheric interference,…
Role of low-carbon technologies in lowering industrial energy intensity in Russia: methodological approach and projection
Abstract:Relevance. Long-term energy demand projection has been for years an essential task facing researchers. The complexity involved in making such projection is due to the ever-growing uncertainty and variability of the factors and trends shaping this demand. The present study is a relevant contribution to the literature because it addresses Russia transition to a low-carbon development…
Streamflow and sediment dynamics affected by precipitation events and land use changes in the heavily urbanized small catchment of Moscow megacity
Moscow megacity is experiencing the largest net population growth in Russia and across Europe, resulting in significant climatic and hydrological changes of the small rivers. High-frequency (30-min) automatic streamflow and sediment monitoring with turbidity sensors was performed in 2019-2024 across the Setun River-the major tributary of the Moskva River, with a 190 km2 catchment area….
Agroclimatic Monitoring and Current Trends in Agroclimatic Resources in Neighboring Regions of Russia and Kazakhstan
Abstract This article presents the results of monitoring agroclimatic resources in the main grain-producing adjacent regions of Russia and Kazakhstan for the period from 1976 to 2024. The monitoring is carried out on the basis of the Climate–Soil–Yield simulation system using surface air temperature and total precipitation with a monthly resolution. The estimates are obtained…
Predicting Russian cold and heat stress with the Universal Thermal Climate Index
Bioclimatic Zoning of Russia Using the Universal Thermal Climate Index in Present and Future Climates Based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), an assessment of bioclimatic conditions in Russia at the beginning and middle of the 21st century has been conducted. Winter and summer features of the UTCI are examined under the present (2000–2022)…
Climate risk perception as a catalyst for pro-environmental behavior in Belarus
Abstract Pro-environmental behavior is crucial for protecting the environment, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions, preventing the depletion of natural resources, and mitigating climate change. This study aims to examine the drivers of pro-environmental behavior and answer the research question whether climate risk perception positively affects the behavior. It uses a nationally representative data collected in…
Classification of Climate Disputes from the Perspective of International Law
(RU) Abstract The increasing variety of legal relationships in the climate sphere, as well as the specific nature of legal regulation in this area, inevitably leads to disputes between the parties involved – climate disputes. The significant variability of climate disputes across different jurisdictions, on the one hand, makes this type of judicial disputes complex…
Sustainable pre-potato production in Siberia
Intelligent automated control of abiotic water and thermal stress in greenhouses for the optimization of pre-basic potato production Abstract The projected 50 % increase in global food demand by 2050, coupled with declining freshwater availability and climate change, highlights the urgent need for more efficient agricultural practices. This study presents the development and implementation of…
