Environmental Monitoring System Software Package Development for Settlement of Solovetsky (Bolshoy Solovetsky Island)

The concept of an integrated environmental monitoring system is being developed to ensure trends in environmental pollution timely detection and crisis situations forecasting. Since 2024, scientists at the NArFU School of Engineering have been seasonally monitoring the natural environment (water, air, soil) state in the settlement of Solovetsky. Thus the accumulated analytical material can serve as a basis for a database providing an integrated approach to environmental monitoring creation and the measures for environmental standards compiling development on the territory of Bolshoy Solovetsky Island. In the database development two main libraries were created: one is data on sources pollution and a list of controlled pollutants for each element of the biosphere (atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere), and the other is a secondary database with indicators measured at a field work. Due to this software good integration an interactive map was created in order to link sampling points to the area and visualize all the information collected. Currently the map’s functionality includes: data editing, a new point adding, searching, filtering, and saving. In the future, it is about to be expanded to possibility of converting an interactive map into an Android-based mobile application. The developed software will be of key importance for the archipelago natural and cultural heritage preservation.
