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.
