Modern hydrological and morphological state of the Agrakhan Bay and its adverse changes

The study was based, firstly, on the diverse data collected during field work in 2018 – 2020 in the eastern part of the Terek River delta and long-term hydrological monitoring data on the Roshydromet gauges. Secondly, on a profound comparative analysis of multi-temporal cartographic materials and mu...

Description
Summary:The study was based, firstly, on the diverse data collected during field work in 2018 – 2020 in the eastern part of the Terek River delta and long-term hydrological monitoring data on the Roshydromet gauges. Secondly, on a profound comparative analysis of multi-temporal cartographic materials and multiple satellite images, laboratory analysis of water and sediment samples and other research groups’ field data. The performed analysis resulted in unprecedented complex and profound assessment of the contemporary hydrological, morphological and ecological state of the former Agrakhan Bay of the Caspian Sea. The drivers, dependencies and parameters of hydrological and morphological degradation were described; a multi-layer large-scale GIS was created to design multiple illustrations. The performed assessment allowed for development of measures for partial restoration of the hydrological and ecological potential of the former Agrakhan Bay.
