Abstract. Based on the results of large-scale geomorphological survey and analysis of remote sensing data and digital elevation models, a typification of anthropogenic landforms and a quantitative assessment of the scale of anthropogenic morpholithogenesis in the territory of the Norilsk industrial region were made. The area of areas of direct transformation of the relief was 113,5 km2, the volume of anthropogenic landforms is estimated at no less than 1.8 billion m3. Among the anthropogenic landforms, accumulative forms absolutely predominate (93% and 72,6% in area and volume, respectively). Areas of indirect relief transformation, the area of which, according to the interpretation data, was 23,4 km2, cover the bottoms of river valleys and lowered surfaces of the lacustrine-alluvial lowland contaminated by spills of oil products and waste from processing plants. The most pronounced accumulation of pollutants in the river valleys is found within the interior deltas and ice glades. Keywords: anthropogenic landforms, relief transformation, ecological geomorphology, pollutants, Arctic
