Nature Use of the Russian Far East and Adjacent Territories

Research agenda for the Russian Far East and utilization of multi-platform comprehensive environmental observations

“…Significant emissions were registered over southern Yakutia. The anthropogenic emissions were consistent with the division of three macroeconomic districts (Baklanov, Karakin, and Sheingauz 2005). The long range, anthropogenic pollutants from China are of particular relevance for the Russian Far East environments.…”

“…Several resources and economic assessments have addressed the Russian Far East region as zone of a 'Pacific megaecotone of Northern Eurasia' (Kolomyts 2016) or 'Pacific Russia' (Baklanov 2012). The region is divided into three macroeconomic regions (Baklanov, Karakin, and Sheingauz 2005): North-West (Yakutia), North-East (Kamchatka, Magadan, Chukotka), and South (Primorskye and Khabarovsk territories, Amur, Sakhalin and Jewish Autonomous Region). This area as a whole determines the trends and intensity of economic development in the Far East.…”

“…The industrial emission including, the transported emissions in the Russian Far East in 2015, was estimated 1597 thousand tons with a variation in the emission volumes between different administrative areas (Baklanov, Karakin, and Sheingauz 2005). The highest emissions were observed in the most economically active areas in Primorskye, Khabarovsky territories, and in the Amur Region (Table 7).…”
