In the volcanically active zones of the southern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula on the Ksudach volcanic massif, hyperspectral ground-based measurements of reflectivity of various types of underlying surfaces (spectral resolution 2 nm, in the range of 256–920 nm) were carried out. The wide variability of landscapes and types of underlying surfaces in the geodynamically active area made it possible to obtain a representative array of data characterizing their subject-specific features and spectral characteristics of the main surface elements of natural landscapes. Spectral measurements were performed by a photospectroradiometer (FSR) developed at the Department of Aerospace Research of A. N. Sevchenko Research Institute of Applied Physical Problems of the Belarusian State University (IAPP of BSU, Minsk, Republic of Belarus). Simultaneously with spectral measurements, complex geological and geoecological studies were carried out, which included the description and selection of plant and geological samples. The work made it possible to create a training sample of spectral characteristics of the surfaces of natural landscapes. The analysis of the sample showed that these types of surfaces are statistically reliably identified by the characteristic shapes of spectral brightness curves, which allows them to be used for object-landscape decoding of space hyperspectral data obtained by the Hyperion EO-1 hyperspectrometer in volcanically active zones. Currently, the development of methods for interpreting hyperspectral information for assessing the state of natural and natural-anthropogenic systems remains relevant. The solution of the problem is facilitated by the creation of databases of spectral data and their subject-specific characteristics. The research was carried out during a complex expedition of the Institute of Geography RAS, the Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics FEB RAS and IAPP of BSU under the program of the Union State “Monitoring-SG” as part of the research work of the Institute of Geography RAS “Monitoring-SG 1.3.1.2”. The initial field data have been uploaded to the Spectral Reference Database (http://spectral.igras.ru).
