Currently available space technologies for Earth system study
Satellites in a low-Earth (under 450 km) near-polar orbits provide the required high resolution gravity and magnetic-field measurements. The application of Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking aboard CHAMP and GRACE missions, satellite gradientometry (GOCE mission) makes possible the reliable highly accurate assessments Earth’s gravitational potential. Combining GOCE-TIM4 model with EIGEN-6C and EGM 2008 for degree expansion from 251 to n=1420 and n=2190 form the basis of elaboration new local and regional gravity models. Swarm satellite early magnetic field measurements explicit advantage is taken by including magnetic intensity gradient from the lower satellite pair. Progressively increasing data of global observations opens the way for Earth System Study by bringing disparate sources together.
GPS-tracking on the low orbiting satellites, satellite-to-satellite tracking, satellite gravity gradientometry, sea surface topography, gravity field models, magnetic field gradient satellite data, monitoring solar-terrestrial relations.
Development of network services of the geoporta of satellite radiothermovision: ICAR project
The paper discusses the progress in the development of network services and technologies of the geoportal of satellite radiothermovision created by the authors earlier. The initial task of the geoportal was to provide potential users access to the results of the spatiotemporal interpolation of geophysical atmospheric fields. Practical implementation required the implementation of a technology of dynamic generation of processing products. The use of this technology had expanded the range of tasks, and led to the creation of a specialized service of the virtual integration of spatial geodata ICAR (Interactive Calculator for Atmospheric Research). The paper describes the interface and technological principles underlying the ICAR project, discusses some details of software and algorithmic implementation, provides examples of practical applications.

Risk governance and vulnerability factors of critical infrastructure
On example of recent multi-risk disasters and their impacts on electricity transmission grids this paper shows the need of multi-risk assessment and governance. It discusses factors of vulnerability of electricity transmission infrastructure in Europe in lights of changing for architecture of electricity grids requirements, growing volumes of renewable energy sources and probabilities for cascading effects. The paper also brings examples of multi-risk assessment and shows algorithm of calculation for multi-risk disasters.
