Abstract

It is noted that the territory of Dagestan and the adjacent part of the Caspian Sea as an object of monitoring of geodynamic movements and thermal fields is a unique geophysical laboratory, where on a relatively small territory there are different landscapes: from glaciers and alpine meadows to deserts and semi-deserts. The territory has a complex tectonic structure, geodynamic and seismic activity is high, and anthropogenic load on the environment is significant. The collected long-term factual material is used in the ongoing research along with the establishment of a geodynamic GPS-observation network and modern thermal survey of the region. As part of the work, field studies were conducted at the polygon to measure the temperature field at shallow depths; thermal space images were studied, and the obtained information was compared and analyzed.
