The NTs OMZ uses remote sensing data for various ecological problems associated with both man-made and natural environmental impact.
The tasks relevant to man-made impact are as follows:
  • Marine oil spillage observation;

  • Detection of pollution sources of the atmosphere and land surface water;

  • Identification of atmospheric pollution nearby industrial centers;

  • Forest and steppe fire detection and observation.


The tasks relevant to natural impact are as follows:
  • Observation of erosion-affected areas;

  • Observation of large reservoir coastline dynamics;

  • Space-time observations of ecosystems and biodiversity.
