Observational analysis highlights the challenges of remote sensing in geological studies across various geographical areas in Russia, indicating the impact of natural conditions.
The use of remote sensing techniques for geological research has become an integral part of today’s work related to the search for and exploration of mineral deposits. However, its application is limited by both natural and technical constraints. The main obstacles to the use of remote sensing in geology are considered. Dense vegetation, woodlands, clouds, atmospheric interference, sedimentary cover and snow make it difficult to obtain and interpret data. The technical limitations related to the resolution of satellite images and the availability of data are analyzed. The features of remote sensing applications in various geographical areas of Russia are described in detail. Using the example of the Kola Peninsula, the northwestern part of the Sverdlovsk region, Belgorod, Kursk and the eastern part of the Orenburg regions, the influence of relief, climate and vegetation on the conditions of geological research using remote sensing is demonstrated. It is shown how the diversity of natural conditions in Russia affects the possibilities and limitations of using remote sensing for geological purposes.
