Abstract

Summary

The destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) dam was such a catastrophic event that requires its analysis and risk assessment, identifying the most vulnerable areas and forecasting further hazardous processes development. The aim of this study is to analyse the consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP dam by improving the methodology for assessing risks and forecasting the development of slope processes within the area affected by the Kakhovka Reservoir. Based on the analysis of conditions and factors affecting the development of hazardous geological processes using the created inventory maps, the impact of tectonics and relief was determined, and a forecasting model of the development of slope mass movement processes within the studied area was provided. The analysis of the distribution of slope processes by distance from tectonic disturbances was also carried out. It was revealed that the areas of predicted slope mass movement processes extend beyond the previously mapped areas of slope processes manifestations. The obtained results will provide scientific and methodological support in recording and assessing the damage caused to the geological environment, as a result of russian armed aggression, as well as remediation measures and strategies for managing the affected territories.
