The study results of anthropogenic transformations of the ground vegetation cover in the areas of construction and operation of the Yamburgskoye oil and gas condensate field facilities on the Tazovsky Peninsula are presented. The study was conducted using 10 summer Landsat 5, -7, -8 satellite images from 1988 to 2019 on the basis of parameters characterizing land surface temperature (LST), albedo (Alb), chlorophyll content (NDVI), and moisture (NDWI) of the ground cover. The description of multiyear trends and local changes in LST, Alb, NDVI, and NDWI was performed using the technique of relative radiometric normalization of images, which makes it possible to increase the sensitivity of multi-temporal data analysis by reducing the influence of factors not related to anthropogenic impact. In the area of longer development (since 1984), dominant growth trends of average NDVI, Alb, and NDWI values were revealed, indicating an increase in the volume of green phytomass in the process of revegetation after its disturbance during construction and maintenance of technical facilities. The absence of significant trends in changes in the average LST values in the area as a whole is explained by the parity of local processes of surface temperature decrease and increase caused by different responses of the landscapes to anthropogenic impact. The absence of significant trends in NDVI and NDWI in the area of later development indicates relative stability of the vegetation cover, which may be an evidence of more rational and environmentally friendly approaches to the construction of facilities and field development. Fragments of detailed maps describing the change of parameters over 31 years confirm these conclusions. The trends of increasing green phytomass volumes revealed against the background of the climatic trend are associated with anthropogenic impact and may be a consequence of local microclimate development, which, together with global warming, may lead to intensification of permafrost degradation processes and growth of biogenic gas emission.
