In the article, the authors describe the attributes for lithologic collections of oil-gas complex that are formed by samples of core from deep oil-gas cores stored in the Federal Fund of well core, paleontologic and lithologic collections and collections of oil from Russian oil-gas provinces. The data object "Lithologic collection" includes 15 attributes, and the object "Lithologic sample" – 29 attributes. All attributes are characterized by data type and field length. During the period of 2012–2015, seven lithologic collections were formed. They include 416 samples from investigated oil-gas complexes of the Northern Caucasus, Volga-Urals, Caspian, Timan-Pechora, Lena-Tunguska oil-gas provinces, Khatanga-Vilyui gas-oil province and Nadym-Poore oil-gas region of Western Siberia oil-gas province.

Federal Fund of well cores, paleontologic and lithologic collections and collections of oil from Russian oil-gas provinces operates on the base of the Branch "Aprelevka Department of VNIGNI". To provide its operation, "client-server" type informational system was elaborated with the possibility of remote access. Databases are created and filled up constantly for whole range of stored well cores, lithologic collections, slices of rocks, paleontologic collections, well-logging records, archive of geologic-geophysic documentation. The scheme of the informational system is described in the paper. Potential users of the data are the Federal Subsoil Resources Management Agency of Russia with its territorial branches, funds of geologic information, corestorages, scientific research centres, subsoil using organizations, and institutes of higher education.

This paper analyzes the structural changes of livestock production in Montenegro in the period 2003 - 2012 years. To get adequate picture the structure of agricultural land and structural changes in livestock Montenegro in 2004 and 2012 year we applied the method of alternating splitter in the system found the following and 6/6 trends. The structure of use agricultural land prevailing O1L2P3 uniformly pasturing trends using agricultural land with a greater share of meadows and participation arable land in 2003 which remained without changes in 2012. While in the structure of changes in livestock recommend 2004 direction with equal participation of breeding bovine animals and sheep farming 03 G3 which is in the year 2012 in the transformed in 03 G2 K1 direction with equal participation of sheep farming with higher participation herding bovine animals and participation of goat breeding. Montenegro towards membership in the EU will have to comply with the requirements and standards of the EU, which will significantly change the situation in the Montenegrin livestock, which will include the restructuring and diversification of existing livestock production with a view to harmonizing it with the EU standards, increasing quality and productivity, competitiveness development and training for the occurrence outside (global) market.

Access to adequate, safe and equitable distribution of water is fundamental in supporting live hood. The concern about access to water is premised on its multifacet effects on health and well being of man. This paper analyzed the spatial distribution of public portable water sources of Misau town in Bauchi state Nigeria. Location of existing public water points were mapped and analyzed using GIS techniques to guide decision in the study area. The public water taps, bore holes and open wells numbering 33, 59, and 48 respectively were mapped and 200m buffering was made to check their accessibility and adequacy or otherwise. The result indicates areas of high concentration and those lacking the infrastructure visa avis the population density on physical development. The maps and the analysis affirmed the versatility of GIS managerial tool in water distribution management of Misau town.

On the background of global warming, climate changes have mostly affected the contact zone of the hydrosphere and lithosphere, the coasts of oceans and seas. The sea level fluctuations and the activity of storm flow and thermal mode have had a significant influence on the complex morphodynamic processes in the coastal zone. The coasts of oceans and seas are distinguished by their anthropogenic significance and occupy 72% (except cryogenic coasts) of the world ocean coastal zone. The sustainability of sea coastal zone is directly connected with eustatic, epirogenetic and wave processes. In the modern period the wash-off area of the world ocean coasts and the increasing of intensity are directly caused by the above mentioned factors.

This paper discusses some socio-geographical characteristics of contemporary working forces migration from Serbia and Montenegro in Denmark, analyzed from the point of view of migrant organization and activities. At the beginning of the sixties of the last century, slowed down economic development of the country (former Yugoslavia), has caused the determination that the Serbian and Montenegrin workers to go abroad. Denmark was among those countries. Serbian and Montenegrin communities of migrants, although is not very numerous (about 8.000), is interesting for researchers, because in the middle of Denmark of which is dependent economically, maintain their ethnical or social identity. The notion of identity is complex and it is necessary to observe within approach that is more theoretical or framework. Therefore, there are two interpretations: one that are gave respondents, and other researchers. Important place in the identification of the Serbian and Montenegrin migrants findings in the family, relatives, churches, schools, associations and clubs, where they can develop their activities. Thus, they form a social network within the community and towards the wider environment.

The legacy of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics includes not only the infrastructure of the Krasnaya Polyana ski resort, which meets the highest international standards, but cutting-edge technology that helps to considerably reduce risks associated with the impact of anomalous phenomena of nature. The author conducts an assessment of the cost of adaptation activities aimed at boosting the economic effectiveness and sustainability of the development of ski resorts in the face of adverse weather and climatic conditions.

Land surface temperature is one of the most important factors in climatology studies and human – environment interactions. Besides, land surface temperature is also an important factor when monitoring soil moisture. Ground-based observations reflect only thermal condition of local area around the station and in fact cannot establish the number of meteorological stations with expected density due to the high cost. Remote sensing technology with advantages such as wide area coverage and short revisit interval has been used effectively in the study of land surface temperature distribution. This article provides a synthetic analysis method of the actual problems monitoring the land surface temperature using LANDSAT thermal infrared image for monitor drought.
