Hydrobiology of the Caspian Sea
2004The Caspian Sea is the world’s largest lake in area. Hence it is possible to assume, that it should have the largest biodiversity as well. The larger area of lake, the large number of plants and animals species lives in it. In our opinion this correlation with the area is not direct but indirect.

Energy Security: The Caspian Sea
Minerals & Energy - Raw Materials Report, 2005Since the early 2000s the United States and the European Union have increasingly sought to develop hydrocarbon resources beneath the Caspian Sea in order to reduce their heavy dependency on supplies from the Middle East. The goal is to reduce the West's energy vulnerability and enhance its energy security.

Inland Water Biology, 2020
Five bryozoan species of the class Gymnolaemata and a single Plumatella emarginata species of the class Phylactolaemata are found in the Caspian Sea. The class Gymnolaemata is represented by bryozoans of the orders Ctenostomatida (Amathia caspia, Paludicella articulata, and Victorella pavida) and Cheilostomatida (Conopeum grimmi and Lapidosella ...

The Caspian Sea is the largest lake in the world. All its resident species can be considered as invaders with various time of introduction. The most ancient invaders are regarded as indigenous species. The glacial relicts invaded the Caspian 1–1.5 million years BP. There are also “Atlantic species” and those of fresh-water origin.

Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, 1964
Soviet plans have been completed for the construction of a dam 427 km long across the Caspian Sea, in a further attempt to solve the adverse hydrologic conditions of its basin and to halt the continued fall of its water level. The hydrologic deficiency of the Caspian basin, represented to a major extent by the drainage of the Volga River, is inherent ...

Satellite Altimetry Applications in the Caspian Sea
2010The Caspian Sea is the largest continental water body on the Earth. Owing to its size and geographical location, the sea is truly a large-scale climatic and ecological indicator. One of the most important parameters of the state of the Caspian Sea is significant interannual sea level changes that puzzle the scientists of many countries.

Anthropogenic Radionuclides in the Caspian Sea
Water Resources, 2003Analysis and interpretation of the distribution of anthropogenic radionuclides 90Sr, 137Cs, and 239,240Pu in the Caspian Sea water are presented. These radionuclides are shown to be of environmental importance and to be useful for studying water mass dynamics.

Radioactive Contamination of the Caspian Sea
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 1998Between 1967 and 1975, the highest levels of radioactive contamination were observed in the northern part of the Caspian Sea and amounted to 100 Bq.m -3 for 90 Sr, 19 Bq.m -3 for 137 Cs and 11 kBq.m -3 for tritium. In 1975 the average concentrations of these isotopes in the surface waters of the central and southern parts of the Caspian Sea were ...

The Transformation of the Caspian Sea
Soviet Geography, 1961AbstractThe author reviews the problem of the level fluctuations of the Caspian Sea, particularly the steady drop since 1929. The drop in level is affecting many key sectors of the regional economy. Among several remedial schemes is a plan for diverting the rivers of northern European Russia to the Caspian, and a project for a localized regulation of ...

Forecasting the Caspian Sea Level
1994Forecasting is a trustworthy judgement of the state of an object (process or phenomenon) in the future based on an analysis of a logical sequence of events (Bestuzhev-Lada, 1982). In this chapter, we will consider how the available empirical data may be organized into such a “logical sequence” which is appropriate for CSL predictions.
