«Second geology – science about technogenic bodies of the lithosphere»
Summary.
At the present stage technogenic transformation of the earth's crust becomes one of the major factors of formation of the future existence of people and all other organisms populating our planet. The character of the technogenesis of the lithosphere has changed significantly. During previous historical epochs human was limited to the earth’s substances from it that was necessary for its existence. Now, under the cumulative influence of various activities, the structure of earth's crust has changed step by step. On increasing scales artificial formations influence its structure
– technogenic geological bodies.
At the same time, one has to consider accumulations of new ground areas along marine coast,
variation of structure of rocks in response to the extraction of slate gas and oil,
variation of the geological structure of territory at establishment of megacities.
In the majority of cases this is accompanied by decreasing strength of the underground environment.
This results in the occurrence of various sorts of dangerous phenomena of exogenous geodynamics
(landslips, collapses, failures, and even technogenic earthquakes).
Injury of integrity of the earth's crust quite often creates a pollution of environments.
Теchnogenic lithospheric transformation of biogeochemical cycles shows to which degree
the biosphere is a uniform system of dynamically interacting elements.
The further growing scales of technogenesis of lithosphere will inevitably lead
to the occurrence of new geopolitical problems.
Already now erection of some artificial islands is a reason for international conflicts.
Technogenic transformation of lithosphere is, with regard to its character,
conditions and timescales, essentially distinct from natural geological processes.
Like any new subject of scientific research,
it requires for its study the development of a separate scientific discipline,
which, due to the secondary processes of artificial transformation of the earth's crust,
can be designated as a second geology.
It must be mentioned that the terminus has been used earlier for the scientific activities
which accompany the processing and the repeated use of raw materials
which were deposited earlier as rubbish in the lithosphere.
In the monograph the subject matter of the second geology is understood significantly
more widely and includes all types of technogenic bodies that are directly
or indirectly formed in the earth's crust and on its surface as result of human activity.
At the present stage the process of technogenic transformation of the lithosphere,
though it is visible everywhere has not yet resulted in irreversible catastrophic variations of the environment.
Therefore, right now it is important to explore the general laws of its progress
and to develop mechanisms to manage it.
The objective of the present work consists in creation of conceptually-methodological bases of this activity.
When writing it, an extensive array of disparate materials characterizing
technogenic geological bodies of various types was generalized and subjected to system analysis.
A classification of technogenic geological bodies is developed.
Laws of their formation, transformation, influence on ecological conditions and social relations,
possible influence on geopolitical problems are investigated.
The indispensability of system management of the technogenesis of the lithosphere is proved.
Keywords: technogenesis of the earth's crust, anthropocene, bowels of the earth, geological environment, hazardous geological processes, natural-technical system.
