The systematic description of the knowledge accumulated on the
physical oceanography, marine chemistry and pollution, and marine
biology of the Caspian Sea forms the basis of this book. It
presents the principal characteristic features of the
environmental conditions of the sea and their changes in the
second half of the 20th century. At present, the principal
problems of the Caspian Sea are related to the interannual sea
level changes and their forecast and to the estimation of the
intensity of the chemical pollution of the sea and its impact
upon the biota. Special attention is paid to socio-economic,
legal, and political issues in the Caspian Sea region. This
publication is based on numerous observational data collected by
the authors of the chapters during sea expeditions, on the
archive data of several Russian oceanographic institutions, as
well as on the broad scientific literature mainly published in
Russian editions. This book is addressed to the specialists
concerned with research in various fields of physical
oceanography, marine chemistry, pollution studies, and biology;
solving a wide scope of problems from the regional climate to the
mesoscale processes; and using a variety of methods from remote
sensing of the seas to numerical and laboratory modeling.
