Abstract Book of "The Climate Chance And The Caspian Sea"
... The Caspian Sea experienced a full sea-level cycle between 1929 and 1995, with amplitude of 3 meters. Rates of the sea-level change between the 1977 low stand and the 1995 high stand average a hundred times that of the eustatic rise. An environmental problem in itself, Caspian sea-level change also ...
