DOI 10.17580/em.2021.01.17
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article describes integrated monitoring (space, geodetic, radioecological) in the area of earlier underground explosion at Semipalatinsk Test Site (STS). The data of space monitoring of the territory and the experience of the data integration into the geographic information system (GIS) are analyzed. The primary analysis of geodetic monitoring results is performed as a case-study of Balapan and Telkem sites where ground surface subsidence is up 5–6 mm. Based on the integrated monitoring, the dynamic maps of temperature and ecological characteristics of the test site territory are obtained. The results are used for additional assessment of pollution consequences at STS and to work out recommendation on the use of the lands in the context of radiation safety. The research was supported by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No АР08857097).
