Applying the ELSA Framework to Assess Ecosystem Vulnerability in Wetlands of the Aral Sea Region P. Reymov, Yakhshimurad Khudaybergenov, V. Statov, N. Mamutov E3s Web of Conferences, 2024 Wetlands are vital ecosystems that provide numerous ecological services, including water purification, flood control, and wildlife habitat. However, wetlands are under threat due to human activities and climate change. Accurate mapping and monitoring of wetlands are crucial for effective conservation and management. Remote sensing techniques have revolutionized wetland mapping by providing detailed and up-to-date information on wetland extent, vegetation composition, and hydrological patterns. Wetlands play a crucial role in global ecosystems, providing numerous ecological services such as flood control, water purification, and habitat for diverse flora and fauna. Monitoring of the wetland dynamics are essential for effective conservation and sustainable management. This research paper provides a detailed examination of recent advances in remote sensing research of wetlands, focusing on the utilization of inventory geoecological mapping. Wetland ecosystems are dynamic and sensitive to environmental changes, making their monitoring a challenging but imperative task. Remote sensing technologies offer a unique opportunity to observe and analyze wetland characteristics at various scales. We explore the use of remote sensing in wetlands mapping, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and future prospects with a special emphasis on vulnerability assessment and vulnerability prediction using ELSA (Essential Life Support Area) approach.
Gravity variations determined from GRACE and GRACE-FO monthly solutions for analyzing water mass changes in the Aral Sea Lorant Foldvary, Victor Statov, Nizamatdin Mamutov, Sanjar Khikmatullaev, Muxammadyusuf Ergashev E3s Web of Conferences, 2023 The GRACE large-scale sequent GRACE-FO gravity satellite mission is providing monthly gravity field solutions for almost 20 years enabling a unique opportunity to monitor large-scale mass variation processes. The gravity anomaly time series for the Aral Sea region has been derived for the period of April 2002 to January 2022. The method of determining gravity anomaly time series from GRACE and GRACE-FO monthly solutions has been improved by taking into account the mass variations of the Caspian Sea. The gravity anomaly time series then has been compared to mass anomaly estimates. For deriving mass anomaly, beyond the available water volume data, density variations were determined by taking into account salinity and temperature changes. Unfortunately, no reliable information either on the salinity or on water temperature changes is available or accessible. Furthermore, not only the data but also the methodology of determining the density is not reliable. Still, the tests suggest that slight improvement in correlation due to the involvement of salinity information occurs.
Some issues of geoinformatics support for agroclimatic zoning in the South Aral Sea basin Mamanbek Reimov, Nizamatdin Mamutov, Polat Reymov, Viktor Statov, Yakhshimurad Khudaybergenov, et al. E3s Web of Conferences, 2023 The possibility of building a regional system for assessing the climatic potential and agroclimatic zoning using geoinformation approaches and specialized description language CSML (Climate Science Modelling Language) for the Southern Aral Sea basin. Modern approaches to the construction of agroclimatic zoning systems using ground-based and space-based monitoring are discussed. The necessity of combining geoecological and bioclimatic zoning of the territory using spatial databases is shown.
Applicability of grace and Grace-FO for monitoring water mass changes of the aral SEA and the caspian SEA Lorant Földváry, Victor Statov, Nizamatdin Mamutov Intercarto Intergis, 2020 The GRACE gravity satellite mission has provided monthly gravity field solutions for about 15 years enabling a unique opportunity to monitor large scale mass variation processes. By the end of the GRACE, the GRACE-FO mission was launched in order to continue the time series of monthly gravity fields. The two missions are similar in most aspects apart from the improved intersatellite range rate measurements, which is performed with lasers in addition to microwaves. An obvious demand for the geoscientific applications of the monthly gravity field models is to understand the consistency of the models provided by the two missions. This study provides a case-study related consistency investigation of GRACE and GRACE-FO monthly solutions for the Aral Sea region. As the closeness of the Caspian Sea may influence the monthly mass variations of the Aral Sea, it has also been involved in the investigations. According to the results, GRACE-FO models seem to continue the mass variations of the GRACE period properly, therefore their use jointly with GRACE is suggested. Based on the justified characteristics of the gravity anomaly by water volume variations in the case of the Aral Sea, GRACE models for the period March–June 2017 are suggested to be neglected. Though the correlation between water volume and monthly gravity field variations is convincing in the case of the Aral Sea, no such a correlation for the Caspian Sea could have been detected, which suggests to be the consequence of other mass varying processes, may be related to the seismicity of the Caspian Sea area.
Some questions study of deflation processes and sand transport in the drained bottom of the aral sea A. K. Kurbaniyazov, S. K. Berdibayeva, N. K. Mamutov, P. R. Reimov, K. A. Kosnazarov, et al. News of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan Series of Geology and Technical Sciences, 2020 The article discusses the results of the study of sandy deserts, which allowed us to obtain and reveal a number of important laws and mechanisms of formation, formation, movement and development of Aeolian landforms. The establishment of these patterns helps to solve a number of practical tasks to combat sand drifts in the sandy desert of various objects. In connection with the prospects for the development of this territory, it is very important to know the direction and intensity of the development of these processes. The obtained data on the mechanism and structure of the entire air-soil flow, starting from the moment of its formation, i.e. in the blowing zone, and ending with the transfer and deposition of soil particles by wind in the accumulation zone, make it possible to increase the level of scientific validity of the rational use of soil resources, as well as to take timely measures to protect the environment.
