Аннотация:The geoecological situation in the regions of
intense industrial exploitation on the Pechora Sea coast,
particularly in the Varandei area, is dangerous. Human
factors intensify eolian and slope processes and thermoerosion.
Coastal stability decreases and coastal retreat
rates are twice as high as in regions unaffected by
human activity. Industrial exploitation results in the
destruction of natural environments and considerable
material losses. Several housing estates and industrial
constructions have already been destroyed because of
coastal erosion. Damage increases each year as the cliff
retreats towards the center of the Varandei settlement.
The oil terminal, airport and other industrial objects are
also endangered.
