The territory of the Republic of Tatarstan belongs to the region with the most developed agriculture in Russia. To ensure precision farming, we need to know cropland borders and the agrochemical properties of soils. The study was carried out based on aerial images analyses of the most intensively used part of the RT both with identification of soil indicators for each of the fields. Spatial location of cultivated crops makes it possible to assess the role of soil characteristics in these crops

In order to identify the risk of transformation of archaeological sites by fluvial processes bank erosion dynamics at Lukovskoe fortified settlement evaluated. UAV and GNSS methods applied to study the relief of monument territory. Historical maps, archival remote sensing data and actual orthophotoplans compared to get quantitative characteristics of monument territory damage. The results of research will help to identify trends in monuments state and to quantify the risks of their destruction.

The method for reconstructing the long-term dependence of radionuclide concentrations in rivers and reservoirs based on their vertical distribution in bottom sediments is proposed. Reconstructed time dependencies of particulate and dissolved Cs-137 activity concentrations in the Upa River were found to be described well by the semi-empirical “diffusion” model.

Channel bank stability is one of the most important issues of sustainable future in the world, where lots of us live by the river. There is a direct response of the streams behavior to climate change, but the details of this process are still questionable. We studied channel bank erosion at the small river at the Black Sea coast. There was s set of observations, and we were lucky to catch the most extreme flood in the field, investigate its mechanism and measure the consequences.

Processes linked to climate change and intensified anthropogenic pressure influence the environment, the hydrology. Quantitative assessments of sediment fluxes and their temporal evolution in this mountain region are required for various environmental and engineering purposes, including the planning and maintenance of water reservoirs and other structures. we present a first analysis of the hitherto largest suspended sediment yield (SSY) database for the Caucasus region.
