Caspian Protection

Innovative research for sustainable Caspian Sea management and protection.

Environmental Monitoring

We would like to employ state-of-the-art tools for comprehensive environmental monitoring of the Caspian Sea. This includes ground sensors that track humidity, temperature, and other critical environmental parameters in real time.

In addition, we use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map and analyze spatial data, providing insights into land use changes, shoreline erosion, and environmental impacts. GIS tools enable us to visualize complex environmental trends and identify regions in need of conservation efforts. Satellite imagery, combined with sensor data, allows us to monitor changes in the sea's surface area and track the movement of pollutants or invasive species.

AI Solutions

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) play a crucial role in enhancing our ability to predict and manage the Caspian Sea's environmental challenges. Through AI algorithms, we analyze large datasets generated by environmental sensors, satellite imagery, and historical records to detect patterns and predict future trends. ML models help us identify emerging risks, such as shifts in biodiversity, pollution hotspots, and potential threats to local ecosystems.

These technologies enable rapid analysis and decision-making, providing real-time insights into critical issues like water quality and species population trends. By applying AI and ML to the monitoring data, we can offer data-driven recommendations for policy-making and effective intervention strategies. Our use of predictive modeling also helps anticipate the effects of climate change, human activity, and other factors, empowering stakeholders with the information needed to take timely and effective action in protecting the Caspian Sea.

By integrating advanced monitoring systems and AI/ML technologies, we aim to create a more sustainable, resilient, and well-managed Caspian Sea, ensuring its protection for generations to come.
