Abstract:

We consider results of geo-information tools development for Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Arctic and Subarctic while climate change. The main attention we gave to obtaining information on the state of soil and vegetation cover in coastal areas of the Arctic and Subarctic, as integrated indicator of climate change. In study, we used: Foresight technologies, remote sensing methods, theory of decision making under uncertainties, risk management approach, methods of data bases constructing. Recently, geo-information management for Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Arctic and Subarctic while climate change demonstrates new digitalization peculiarities in data obtaining and presenting. We considered the model of geo-information support for observation of the state for soil and vegetation cover in hard-to-reach areas of the Arctic according to remote sensing data, obtained with the help of modern satellite systems Sentinel-1, Landsat-7, Landsat-8 and MODIS. While research, we gave preference to the remote sensing using in digital management platforms, which integrate heterogeneous hardware and software resources with the use of web-technologies in distributed networks and wide application of cloud services.
