9. Landscape degradation within mining area of central part of Ukraine. Деградація
ландшафтів у районах видобутку корисних копалин у центральній Україні
10. Conclusions. Висновки

Good Afternoon, ladies and gentelmen! My name is Julia Fediv.We are the students,
getting our Master’s Degrees in Geodesy-Cartography and Land-use system (Group GCLm-
16-1 and Group LSm-16-1). The topic of our project is «Risk Assessment of Land
Degradation Using Satellite Imagery and Geospatial Modelling in Ukraine».
Key words for our project are: Anthropogenic landscape, Land degradation, Soil
erosion, Satellite imagery, Geospatial modelling.
1. Land degradation is a relevant and important problem for Ukraine. The solution to
this problem requires not only a detailed study of land degradation causes, but also involves
identifying a risk of land degradation. Unprecedented human activity destroys the landscape
complexes globally.
Please welcome our first speaker Vira Luniw, who presents us the report, concerning
Natural and anthropogenic landscapes of Ukraine.
2. Thank you, Vira. Anna Wulchyn – is our next speaker, who is going to deliver a
speech concerning the problem of Soil erosion and other exogenous processes.
3. We are grateful for such an interesting speech, Anna. More profound about the
exogenous processes, in particular about dust storms, we are going to hear from Vitaliy
Heviuk’s report.
4. Thanks, Vitaliy. So, What is this Satellite imagery for the purpose of land
degradation mapping? To answer this particular question we are happy to have Julia Bilinska
as a speaker.
5. Thank you, Julia. And now I, Julia Fediv, am going to provide more detailed
information about Land degradation geospatial model.
6. Thank you for attention. Please welcome our next reporter – Juriy Melnyk, who’s
gonna speak about Remote assessment of natural landscape degradation in the southern part
of Ukraine.
7. We are grateful for your report in this topic, Jura. Vitiuk Andrii is to present us the
report about natural landscape degradation in the industrial part of Southeast of Ukraine.
Thank you, Andriy.
8. It should be concluded that understanding of long-term land degradation, its many
processes is of high priority for Ukraine because of their low cost reliability and ability to
cover large areas.
Data obtained in this paper show the level of anthropogenic stress, impact of long-term
change of vegetation cover and correlation of intensive development of mining, construction,
agricultural and other human activities with high level of land degradation within investigated
areas.
So the further research has to be directed on development of GIS-technology for for
landscape changes remote mapping.
We are extremely thankful for your attention!
Best regards.
