The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term changes in the timing of the growing season (GS) parameters for the city of Kyiv for 1881-2020 using daily mean temperatures for three thresholds (5, 10, and 15°C). Registered changes in the GS parameters tend to persist across all time periods except 1961-1990 during which trends are usuall...

Vegetation contributes significantly to the sustainability of urban environment and the well-being of city dwellers. For this reason, sustainable evidence-based urban policies require spatially explicit information on the change of vegetation cover in cities. This study estimates vegetation changes during active growing season from 1984 to 2020 for...

The system of urban air pollution monitoring is an important tool to observe, model, and manage air quality. The existing system of air pollution monitoring in Kyiv requires modification; at the same time, a citizen network of urban air quality monitoring has been evolving recently. As this alternative system is becoming an important source of data...

The aim of this study was to investigate long-term changes in the summer thermal regime of surface for the city of Kyiv (Ukraine) using Landsat time series. The overall data subset included 572 Landsat 4-8 Collection 1 Level 2 scenes for the area of Kyiv and its surroundings for June-August 1984-2019. Trend analysis was based on the Mann-Kendall te...

Methodical recommendations reveal issues related to the improvement of inventory systems, assessment and wetlands monitoring шт Ukraine in accordance with the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance.

Spatial dynamics of a landscape is largely controlled by the lateral flows. The methods of geomorphometry, which is rooted in Digital Elevation Models (DEM) automated Geographical Informational Systems (GIS) analysis could be used effectively to study them. The paper presents the method of mapping and classification of landscape spatial dynamics pa...

The mathematical reliability theory and landscape mapping were used for quantitative assessment and mapping of the probabilities of hazardous processes caused by the wind for the landscapes of fluvioglacial sandy lowlands of the Eastern Europe. Volyn province serves as a case study area in the research. Calculations and maps show that for a time pe...

As anisotropy is a fundamental property of the real-world environmental spatial variables, the conventional omnidirectional variograms and correlograms do not provide means enough to characterise spatial dependence between observations. The purpose of this article is to introduce directional univariate structure functions analysis to explore and qu...

Ukraine does not have a reliable and publicly available source of information and data about protected areas (PAs). Therefore crowdsource development of the open cadastre of PAs was jointly initiated by non-governmental organizations activists, GIS-specialists, conservation researches and practitioners. As a result, primary data has been collected...
