Abstract

Fires, floods, water pollution and landfills are among some of the core environmental problems today. In the present work we consider the processes related to temperature pollution from landfills for municipal waste storage. Landfills where a temperature anomaly occurred as a result of a fire are also considered. Optical images from the multispectral instrument (MSI) of the Sentinel 2 platform and radar (SAR) data from the Sentinel 1 platform of the Copernicus program of the European Space Agency were used. The heat channel of the Landsat 5 - 7 (ETM) and Landsat 8 (OLI / TIRS) sensors was used to calculate the surface temperature from the landfill. By using orthogonation of satellite images, the dynamics of the individual components of the earth's surface - vegetation, soil and moisture - was traced. A combination of optical and radar imaging has been used to showcase the potential of this method by which landfills can be identified. Disturbance index was used as a quantitative indicator of the studied areas. Satellite data from different seasons and years have been selected to monitor the dynamics of thermal pollution from the landfills.
