Currently Earth remote probing to study vegetation dynamics and monitor volcanic activity is of great scientific interest. The purpose of this study is to create a large-scale outline map of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk mud volcano which will include the topography objects, mud fields of eruptions of various years and gryphons, and to perform semi-automatic classification of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk mud volcano. Work was performed with QGIS software using the following modules: «QuickMapServices», «Freehandrastergeoreference», «LatLanTools», and «Semi-AutomaticClassificationPlugin». We developed an outline map of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk mud volcano on a scale of 1:10000, which shows how the mud flows have changed directions over the last 70 years, as well as mud fields have been formed over the last 20 years. Using semi-automatic classification of satellite images from Sentinel-2A satellite in various color channel sets, we obtained two premaps of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk mud volcano vegetation on a scale of 1:50 000. Satellite monitoring of YuSMV activity allows us to track the eruptive activity of the volcano, and assess its impact on vegetation.
