 Press Release

 Speedy increasing the demands of population and economy to natural resources in global scale increases the anthropogenic influences  on the natural of our planet. It is to be said that in some regions the mineral resources have exhausted completely and the world confronts with difficulties  in supplying of production with natural resources.

The aim of the Conference is to consider the scientific- theoretical, methodical and practical questions of natural anthropogenic changes taken please in global environment, at the same time the different scenarios prepared by experts the speedy  exhausting of natural resources, climatic changes, desertification processes development of natural disasters (mudstreams, landslides, earthquakes, floods, sharply decrease of the areas of mountain glaciers, level fluctuations of inner reservoirs, etc.) will be discussed and estimated.

-      For gaining the sustained development, ecological safety in global and regional level the main directions of application of the most modern methods of natural resource potential, including the geographical information technologies and aerospace methods will be discussed.

-    in order  to decrease or  give prognosis the risk and dangers created by the natural disasters for human beings life activity and economy the complex methods worked out for determination their development tendencies  will be analyzed.

-   The present state of supplying of exhausted, not to be renewed mineral resources in global and regional scale and determination the ways of perspective use will be one of the main discussion questions of the conference.

 -  The experimental directions of solving  ways of the food safety will be studied in accordance with the demands of “green economics”.

-   Taking into account of strategic importance of the Caspian Sea basin the complex study of hydronamics, geodynamics of the sea and meteorological processes together with the region countries, at the same time the ways of balanced management of the Caspian coastal natural-anthropogenic  geosystems, implementation of scientific – experimental  works in protection direction of biodiversity in ecosystem of the Caspian Sea are the focus problems.

-   Protecting the landscape ecological diversity of the regions the deeply study of recreation potential of geosystems and effective utilization out of them in tourist industry and perspective directions of ecotourism will be analyzed on a   large scale.

The final day of the Conference

                                                                      

The foreign guests acquainted with the landscape, geomorphogical conditions of the south-lantern slope of Major Caucasus, the observed visually the geodynamic processes (landslides, rock falls, taluses) widely-speeded in this region.

The guests took part in the excretion organized for them to the Pirqulu Observatory in Pirqulu.

The Conference continued its work on the following sections; “Natural resource potential of the geosystems and utilization from it”, “Global climatic changes, climate and water resources”, “Sustained social-economic development and food safety”, “Estimation of tourism-recreation potential of the geosystems”.

The fallowing reports were listened at the muting of the Conference; “Estimation of the natural resource potential of Azerbaijan landscapes and its effective utilization” (M.S.Ismayilov), “Estimation of influence of the expecting climatic changes on the environment and population of Azerbaijan” (Kh. Rahimov) and from foreign guests made reports Academicians V.T.Zoginov, Z.G.Rudenko and Prof. A.R.Medeun.Then the resolution of the Conference was read. The resolution was adopted with some more additions and changes.

Resolution

of the International Scientific-practical Conference on “Estimation and Rational Utilization of Natural Resource Potential of Geosystems in the conditions of Global Changes”

 In Baku (the Azerbaijan Republic) on June from 3 up to 5, 2013 was held an International Scientific Conference devoted to 90th anniversary of prominent political leader of Azerbaijan H.A. Aliyev. The Conference was organized by the Section of Earth Sciences of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences together with the Geographical Society of Azerbaijan and the Institute of Geography of ANAS. The specialists from Azerbaijan, Belorussia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Ukraine took part in its work.

The aim of the Conference was to discuss scientific-theoretical, methodical and practical problems of ecodynamic changes of geosystems in the conditions of global and regional changes of environment and climate, adaptation of different branches of economy to their changes.

The Conference included one plenary and five sectional meetings: natural-resource potential of geosystems and their utilization; global climatic changes, climate and water resources; ecological potential of the Caspian Sea and adjoining regions; stable social-economic development and food security; estimation of tourist-recreational potential of geosystems.

By the beginning of the Conference was issued materials of the Conference which was introduced main principles of more than 90 scientific reports, attracting the results of researches of natural-resource potential of geosystems of different origin in the conditions of global and regional changes of environment and climate.

Actuality the carrying out of Conference is conditioned by contemporary global ecodynamic changes of geosystems in space and time, demanding the elaboration of scientific-theoretic and methodical bases of ecosystem researches, basing on distance methods of researches, and GIS technologies as well.

The contemporary period is characterized by contradictions between the natural geocomplexes and postindustrial society. Under the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors there take place the degradation of natural resource potential of geosystems. There processes are attracted on the social-economic, political and ecological environments being parts of human development.

The participants of the Conference-specialists of different branches of Earth Sciences and ecology, disputing of complex problems the estimation of resource potential of geosystems adopted the following resolutions:

-       to consolidate the attempts of scientists and specialists on carrying out of complex researches of natural-resource potential for ensuring stable development of regions;

-       to activate the field and laboratory researches with application of remote methods of researches and GIS technologies for defining the degree of influence of global and regional changes on environment and climate with the aim to ensure the food and ecological security;

-       to work out the complex synthesized methods of investigations with applying of GIS technologies for dangerous processes and phenomena (desertification, mud-streams, landslides, earthquakes, floods, etc.) with the aim of improvement of their forecasting, decreasing of dangers and risks for economy of countries, health of population;

-       to rise the role and significance of academic and higher education institutions investigations in working out and realization of national and regional plans of social-economic development;

-       to work out the scientifically based programs and plans of measurements on balanced development of territories;

-       to estimate the changes of agroclimatic potential of territories in the conditions of changing climate for providing the food security of countries of the Black-Caspian region;

-       to estimate the recreational potential of mountainous regions and determine more optimal ways of their utilization for development of tourist industry.

Taking into account of strategical importance of Black-Caspian region the Conference calls the coastal countries to extend hydrodynamical, meteorological and climatic researches in the spoken region, work out regional bases of balanced management of coastal territories and suggest concrete measures on ensuring the preservation of biological and landscape diversities of the Black-Caspian region.

The Conference expresses its deep gratitude to the Institute of Geography named after Acad. H.A. Aliyev  of the ANAS and its management for carrying out the International Conference in high scientific level, field excursions and providing optimal conditions of the work.
