On the ecological aspect of modern seismicity of the eastern Caucasus territory

Abstract

The ecological problems that may occur in seismically active regions have not been paid enough attention until recently. The need to carry out forecasting geoecological research in the region is substantiated by the example of the eastern Caucasus territory. Methods of forecasting an imminent seismic event based on the analysis of a formed anomalous hydrogeodeformation field (HGD field) and deformation monitoring have been developed. It is recommended that works on seismic microzoning and the establishment of a network of seismometer stations proceed in the region.
