Model of the North Caucasus Mountain Territories Supported Development

Temporal and Spatial Geophysical Data Analysis in the Issues of Natural Hazards and Risk Assessment (in Example of North Ossetia, Russia)

“…The formation and interrelationship of erosion hazardous geological processes and their impact on the environment of high mountain areas are shown in Figure 3. The location of the investigated area in the zone of alpine tectonomagmatic activation of the Greater Caucasus determines the complex engineering and geological conditions inherent in the areas of alpine folding, caused by the diversity of the lithological composition of rocks, their intense tectonic disturbance, active neotectonics and seismicity, and the wide development of modern exogenous geological processes (Figure 3) [41,42]. Information about genetic types, spatial and quantitative characteristics, the state of objects of hazardous exogenous geological processes are the main initial data for the pre-project solution of engineering surveys [43][44][45] and can be used to develop security measures and planning by security management structures [46][47][48][49].…”
