Considerable environmental, political and socio-economical changes have taken place in the Aral Sea Region during the last twenty years due to the anthropogenic impact. Irreversible withdrawal of water of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya Rivers for irrigation has transformed the Aral Sea, once an oasis in the Central Asia desert, into a basin that dries up. Improvement of the environmental conditions of the sea and the surrounding region due to rational water management, development of scenarios and revealing trends of the Aral Sea desertification in the coming decades are in the focus of international scientific community, international organizations (UNESCO, UNEP, the World Bank and others) and recent international projects (INCO-Copernicus-2, INTAS, NATO, etc.). This book represents the first scientific bibliography that contains 1540 entries on different aspects of the Aral Sea research over more than centennial period. It will help to find optimal solution for the problems of the Aral Sea and other enclosed water bodies in the arid zones of the Earth.

Physical Oceanography of the Dying Aral Sea describes the background, present crisis state, and possible future of this peculiar inland water body from the physical oceanographic standpoint. Based on a wide range of material, a large part of which was published in Russian and has not been previously available to the international reader, the book first provides an historical overview of this unique system, which possesses both lake and sea properties. Next, the current physical state of the lake is described, partly based on original field research and model experiments, along with the remote sensing data, model results and analyses extracted from recent literature. Next, book attempts to forecast the forthcoming state of the Aral Sea and identify plausible future scenarios. Finally, the book discusses the Aral Sea dessication viewd as a part of the global perspective.
