ANTHROPOGENIC TRANSFORMATION OF GEOSYSTEMS IN THE PRESENT-DAY HUANG HE DELTA
Abstract
Space imagery of the GoogleEarth information system made it possible to compile a map of natural and anthropogenic geosystems of theHuang Hedelta – a most dynamic delta of the world. Rapid advancing of delta wings into the sea caused by the great sediment runoff is followed by intensive, predominately agricultural, development of the «new» land and, respectively, the settlement of the territory. The map shows that in recent years the aquaculture and oil production become widespread in the delta area along with traditional agricultural land use. The materials of imagery interpretation disclose the inevitable conflicts of nature management related to the expansion of oil production that displace agricultural fields, aquacultural farms and nature protection areas.
