GEOECOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN THE NORTH-EASTERN CASPIAN SEA REGION (ATYRAU AND MANGYSTAU REGIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN)
Abstract
Basing on the investigation of geomorphologic stratification of the territory during the history of development and periodic fluctuations of sea level, the altitudinal landscape differentiation was carried out with due account of different landscape features within the Northeastern Caspian Sea region and specific geoecological processes. The area of distribution and development stages of processes were identified. The natural and antropogenic factors of their development were analyzed.
Keywords
Supporting agencies: The research was carried out under the projects of the RK Institute of Geography: 1) Compilation of the Atlas and geospatial assessment of natural-resource potential, socio-economic development and the state of the environment of the Atyrau region on the basis of GIS-technologies; 2) Evaluation of current development of desertification processes (sand drift) and elaboration of recommendations (under GEF/UNDP request)
