 Application of Remote Sensing and GIS Methods to Dynamic Studies of The Southern Caspian Sea Coastal Zone, Iran
Besides seeking to detect and quantify change, including the effects of coastal erosion, the study is designed to evaluate competing explanations for the rapid rise in the level of the Caspian Sea by 2.5 m between 1977 and 1996.
For instance, the west side of Gorgan Bay are characterized by weak Quaternary sediments, and the most vulnerable.
Thus the possible effects of gas and oil extraction in the last two decades will be modelled by analogy with other coastal gas and oil fields in order to discover whether the sea-level changes are the product of land deformation, minor climatic fluctuations or changes in industrial and agricultural water use.
