Big data technologies in environmental monitoring

Abstract

The article deals with the big data technologies currently used for environmental monitoring. The processes of accumulation and preservation of super-large data sets, technologies for working with them, and a paradigm shift in science are presented. A predictive function of big data has been identified that allows effective use of this technology in environmental monitoring. A general idea of environmental monitoring as a complex system of observations, assessment and forecast of changes in the environmental state has been formed. The main areas of environmental monitoring are identified. As an example, the activity of collecting, processing and storing big data in the framework of the strategic project “Geographic Information system “Yenisei-Arctic”, implemented by the employees of Reshetnev Siberian State University of Science and Technology. The main tasks and results of the project are presented. Among the main results of the project, the formation of a research direction in the field of big data and the involvement of young scientists and students in promising research that can prepare the necessary information for the needs of environmental monitoring is highlighted. It is proved that big data technologies can raise environmental monitoring to a whole new level.

“…As duas primeiras décadas do século XXI foram marcadas por vários avanços tecnológicos, entre os quais a transição em larga escala do tradicional ambiente de computação pessoal do tipo desktop para o ambiente web e mobile, o aumento exponencial da capacidade de armazenamento e processamento de dados computacionais, e a popularização da internet de banda larga. Tudo isso contribuiu para um incremento no modo como a sociedade digital atualmente produz, armazena, analisa, interpreta e apresenta as informações geoespaciais (Piskorskaya;Malanina, 2020) e, por consequência, para uma crescente popularização das aplicações em Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG) "devido ao custo muito baixo e facilidade de uso, através de interfaces extremamente amigáveis e simples" (Laudares, 2014, p. 23). Isso possibilitou à população o acesso a múltiplas funcionalidades de análise espacial em um servidor online sem a necessidade de instalação de softwares de geoprocessamento ou conhecimentos específicos sobre processamento de dados (De Lange;Plass, 2008).…”

Environmental monitoring as a method of counteracting environmental risks in the context of sustainable development

“…Environmental forecasting by applying mathematical methods to calculate the probability of events associated with various changes in the anthropogenic impact on the environment, under conditions of intense anthropogenic impact on it, associated with a high level of technology development and more active human intervention in natural processes, predetermined the creation of a monitoring system for the state of the environment in order to monitor, predict and manage this state [13]. And, in this sense, the main goal of environmental monitoring is to prevent critical situations that are harmful or dangerous to human health, the well-being of other living beings, their communities, natural and manmade objects [13], which corresponds to modern methods of counteracting emerging risks.…”
