Review of new remote methods for environmental monitoring

With the development of information technology, humanity is increasingly using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to perform various tasks, including in the field of environmental management. The current study is devoted to the review of research works in the field of application of modern remote methods of environmental monitoring in order to study the existing experience for implementation in the practice of the Russian Federation. The work is focused at a comprehensive study of developments in the period 2016−2022. The analyzed studies are divided according to the criteria of the studied components of geosystems: on abiotic and biotic. In the course of the work, the existing methods of using UAVs were considered; the main difficulties associated with the improvement and the possibility of using these technologies were identified. With regard to the abiotic components of the work, the use of UAVs is distributed in the following directions: 1) assessment of atmospheric air quality “in situ”; 2) instrument for sampling and subsequent transportation. In relation to biotic: 1) research on the effects of destructive factors in relation to living beings; 2) integration of machine learning methods for environmental monitoring of biotic components of ecosystems.
