Abstract:
Long-term researches conducted by scientists from the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences have
resulted in a large volume of data in Earth Sciences. The research data are systematized at the institutes.
Archives, databases, Geo Information Systems, Data Retrieval Systems, and Digital Libraries have been
establishing. Due to new methods for data collection, the amount of data increases constantly, the data
acquisition becomes more efficient, and the change-over to whole new digital technologies of data
collection, processing, distribution and using is almost complete. The Earth remote sensing space systems,
systems of surface and aerial laser scanning, other digital and electrical geodetic equipment, digital areal
cameras are used to get the initial data. The new digital and electronic environment for data in Earth
Sciences makes it possible to use modern informational technologies.
Satellite data are widely used in geological and geophysical investigations. In order to enco
urage
scientists in the Russian Far East to use satellite images, a system that provides data derived from satellite
imagery for geological and geophysical investigations is being developed. This system is supposed to
provide data from satellite imagery to users, IR-channels from AVHRR and MODIS radiometers, and
measurements of visible channels from AQUA and TERRA, as well as LANDSAT.
