geosystems

In this article the analysis, generalization and systematization of materials of hydrological researches of Russian and foreign scientists are carried out to the period since the end of the nineteenth century till the present time. The extent of the investigation of the problem of application of landscape- hydrological analysis in the study of geosystems is revealed; the various approaches and methods are considered

Many aspects of «interaction» of factors and processes, being the central ones in any science and constantly marked for their high urgency, have not been sufficiently investigated so far that is also typical of modern natural sciences. The work defines five basic types of factors and processes: gravitational, geophysical, geochemical (including biotic component), anthropogenic/technogenic, and geoinformational. They are separately studied with methodical application of «interpenetrating» research of the geosphere components, i.e.
