THE SPATIAL DATABASE "LOESS THICKNESS OF KIROVOHRAD REGION SOILS" AS THE BASIS FOR PROGNOSTICATING THEIR DRAWDOWN PROCESSES
The article offers a spatial database of the thickness of the Kirovohrad region loess soils (Central Ukraine) completed with the instruments of geo-information technologies and the methods of geo-statistical analysis. Its findings allow studying the regional regularities of the distribution of rocks thickness and their physical properties as well as prognosticating the drawdown processes. The author has also revealed time-spatial relations between incomplete denseness of loess soils and physico-geographical conditions of their formation and further transformations.
