Abstract
On the territory of oil fields around torches of flared associated petroleum gas, large plumes of aerosol pollution are formed. The method of mapping thermal anomalies and environmental risk of the defeat of plant communities when burning gas in flares was developed based on the space images of Landsat and products of MODIS. We studied the possibility of the application of such maps for ecological monitoring the anthropogenic action on the vegetation of territories oil fields of West Siberia.
