Abstract The problem of assessing risk indicators of hazardous natural processes as the basis for sustainable development of the region arises due to the peculiarities of the geological structure of the territory of Krasnodar Krai. The work is based on a comprehensive assessment of the geological conditions of the territory of Krasnodar Krai with the use of a systematic approach. A list of characteristic natural processes that pose the greatest danger to capital constructions was determined: in the mountainous part – erosion processes, on the plain – soil subsidence and associated landforms. Then, schematic maps were compiled and the geological component of the risk (its spatial-areal indicator) was determined. Subsequently, to compare these maps, overlay operations were performed, as a result of which the spatial characteristics of ARC/INFO layers were combined into a new layer and relational join of their attribute data was carried out. Adding the risks of each parameter made it possible to rank the territory into 4 zones according to the degree of integral risk of manifestation of natural processes.

AbstractIn deep tunnels with hydro-geological conditions, it is paramount to investigate the geological structure of the region before excavating a tunnel; otherwise, unanticipated accidents may cause serious damage and delay the project. The purpose of this study is to investigate the geological properties ahead of a tunnel face using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and tunnel seismic prediction (TSP) methods. During construction of the Nosoud Tunnel located in western Iran, ERT and TSP 303 methods were employed to predict geological conditions ahead of the tunnel face. In this article, the results of applying these methods are discussed. In this case, we have compared the results of the ERT method with those of the TSP 303 method. This work utilizes seismic methods and electrical tomography as two geophysical techniques are able to detect rock properties ahead of a tunnel face. This study shows that although the results of these two methods are in good agreement with each other, the results of TSP 303 are more accurate and higher quality. Also, we believe that using another geophysical method, in addition to TSP 303, could be helpful in making decisions in support of excavation, especially in complicated geological conditions.

Heiyu Lake zone of Daqing is located in the southwest hollow borderland of Heiyu Lake and on the arching transitional zone of Daqing placanticline. Based on the geological background of Heiyu Lake, this paper analyzes the landform, the regional geological structure, the formation lithology and the irruptive rock and other metallogenic conditions in detail. The indispensable geological conditions for forming geothermal field in layers were summed up. Combining with the development characteristics and geophysical data of formation, the bore hole site of geothermal well and target stratum were ascertained. The four major elements of forming geothermal resources in this region were confirmed by carrying out geothermal drilling.

The impacts of weather and climate extremes (floods, storms, drought, etc) have historically set back development and will continue to do so into the future, especially in developing countries. It is essential to understand how future climate change will be manifest as weather and climate extremes in order to implement policies of sustainable development. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that natural processes have caused the climate to change and it is unlikely that human influences will dominate the natural processes. Any suggestion that implementation of the Kyoto Protocol will avoid future infrastructure damage, environmental degradation and loss of life from weather and climate extremes is a grand delusion.

Information about the geological structure of Kuznetsky coal basin (Kuzbass) allows us to note that coal deposits developed by open-cast method are characterized by complicated conditions and have the following features: large length of deposits at significant depths of occurrence; coal series bedding of different thicknesses (from 1 to 40 m); different dip angles (from 3 to 90º); a significant number of dip and direction disturbances; different thickness of unconsolidated quaternary sediments (from 5 to 40 m); a wide range of strength values of rocks. In addition, there is a thickness irregularity and frequent variability of elements of occurrence of coal seams within the boundaries of a quarry field both in length and depth of mining. From the point of view of open-pit mining, such deposits are complex-structured. The factors listed above have a decisive influence on the choice of technical means, the order of development and the possibility of carrying out surface mining operations. Therefore, there is a need for a systematization of mining and geological conditions for the development of coal deposits, the purpose of which is to ensure a process of evaluation of complex-structured coal deposits for the development of coal-bearing zones by various complexes of equipment.

The designed program of integrated geographical atlas of the Perm Territory for educational purposes has been developed for universities. It is a handbook where the aims and objectives, spheres of application, structure and content, organizational issues are defined. According to the given program the atlas “Geography of the Perm Territory” has been created by the professors and students of the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics of Perm State National Research University (PSNRU). The inner unity of the atlas as a system is provided by the unified projection, a set of scales, unified principles of cartographic generalization, consensual system of legend and a unified design. The modern techniques and methods of geoinformation mapping were applied while creating the atlas. The designed atlas has 108 maps, made in ArcGIS10.4.1. The introduction of the atlas includes geoinfographics about geographical position of the region, satellite images, and up-to-date maps administrative and territorial division and a physical map. In the first chapter of the atlas “Physical Geography” the natural conditions of the region are characterized by a series of 72 theme maps. This chapter contains nine sub-sections: Geological structure; Relief; Climate; Surface water; Soil; Vegetation; Wildlife; Landscapes; Adverse natural processes and phenomena. In the second chapter of the atlas “Social-economic geography” the social and economic conditions of the Perm Territory are characterized by a series of 36 theme maps. This chapter contains three sub-sections: Population; Social infrastructure; Economy. The maps in the atlas are followed by additional information, designed by the modern methods of geoinfographics and infographics. All maps in the atlas are harmonized and are complimentary to each other. The complexity of the atlas is defined by the circle of its users: the professors and teachers of high and secondary schools, students and pupils, specialists in geography and connected sciences, state agencies and all people who are interested in geography and local studies.

The purpose of this article is to identify possible approaches to the development of the “sustainability-by-design” process, which consists in synchronizing the organization's strategy with the trends of sustainable development. For this purpose, a process of “sustainability-by-design” is proposed on the basis of the “safety-by-design” process applied in practice. As a key link in the process, it is proposed to use a system of sustainability indicators, supplemented by indicators of risk and resilience. To strengthen the adaptive capacity of companies in the field of sustainable development, the process of building “sustainability-by-design” is complemented by the inclusion of democratic procedures through structured stakeholder participation. As a result, the proposed process combines a rigid structure of values and goals with a “soft setup” in the form of democratic procedures. This will allow companies not only to reduce the uncertainties inherent to the pacing problem, but also to create an environment for the promotion of the most effective alternatives to the development of companies in the field of sustainability.

Bandar Lampung is one of the cities in Indonesia, which has a potential to land subsidence due to the extraction of ground water, mining, land conversion, and geological conditions. For that reason, carried out the study of land subsidence with SBAS technique, due to the very lack of information about the symptoms of land subsidence in Bandar Lampung. In this study, 15 SAR data in 2006 to 2011 used and then combined to produce 40 interferogram then inverted resulting in a time-series deformation and deformation speed average. Velocity precision obtained with SBAS technique is highly dependent on the type of land cover in the study area, but it is known that the average of land subsidence in Bandar Lampung is about 0.06 mm/year, which is considered quite stable due to the geological structure that does not allow for the occurrence of massive consolidation process. Several areas have indications of subsidence 5 mm/year are suspected to be caused by tectonic activity and human activity (industrial, mining, extraction of groundwater, and land conversion), which then has implications for structural damage to buildings, flooding in coastal areas, and landslides in hilly areas.
