Résumé

The work is devoted to solving one of the problems of integrated monitoring of natural hazards (avalanches, mudflows, landslides, taluses, floods, etc.), carried out at the Geographic Research Center of KBSC RAS in the study area since 2011, namely: the task of assessing the exploration level of the territory on the research problem. To determine the natural hazards of the territory, such an assessment is necessary. On the one hand, this is the identification of the degree of knowledge of the territory susceptibility both for individual kinds of processes and those in the complex. On the other hand, it is the identification of the degree of influence of hazardous processes both on the landscape components and on the landscape as a whole. This formulation of the problem will make it possible to carry out zoning of the territory according to the degree of knowledge and identify unresolved issues for regions with varying degrees of knowledge. On the basis of zoning according to the degree of knowledge it will be possible to develop a scientifically grounded Program for monitoring hazardous processes with a complex of field work on those types of hazardous processes that are insufficiently studied in this region. When assessing the level of knowledge, the methodology developed by the Center's staff is used. This technique was tested earlier during field research in the Western and Central Caucasus. The article presents the main bibliographic sources for the study area for the period from 2001. The analysis of the level of knowledge is presented both for individual administrative entities (republics), and for individual types of hazardous processes. Moreover, the article presents the literature on endogenous processes, the impact of which often leads to the activation of the exogenous processes themselves. In general, it can be said that the study area is extremely unevenly studied both as an area and the type of hazardous processes. Therefore, in order to obtain correct assessments of natural hazards, further research is needed.
