1 Central Asian Institute for Applied Geosciences: one year with Sentinel Asia Dr. B.Moldobekov DPN and JPTM 2010 for Sentinel Asia STEP July 2010, Manila, Philippines

2 Concept of CAIAG Information - Communication System

3 Scheme of natural disaster monitoring station Data Acquisition Data Control Station control and management

4 CAIAG Monitoring Network CAWa: Meteo+GNSS + VSAT - BAYT (Baytik) GNSS: GCO: Meteo + GNSS + VSAT - MRZ1 (Merzbacher) Seismo: (Network Caremon): - SUFI (Sufikurgan) Smart (VSAT+seismo + meteo + GNSS): - TARA (Taragai) - ENEL (Enelchek) - ASAI (Aksai) - KRGT (Kerege-Tash) + EDGE - KRBK (Kara-Batkak) + EDGE - TKUM (Tash-Komur) + EDGE - ARSL (Arslanbob) - BIS2 (Bishkek; GFZ & CAIAG station )

5 CAIAG GPS/GNSS Network small triangles are campaign-mode sites, not permanent; e.g. in coop. Earthquake Administration of Xinjiang (EAX), (Xinjiang Seismological Bureau), Right triangles are CAIAG stations (pink color - GNSS only, yellow - smart (seismo, meteo and GNSS), blue - BIS2 station on CAIAG roof which is controlled by GFZ and works in quasi real time. Green back triangles are Tajik stations. Red squares are Russian Station RAS (IVTAN) stations.

10 Central-Asian Cross-Border Natural Disaster Prevention in Central Asia Cross-border seismic network design and realization in Central Asia (CAREMON,Central Asian Real-Time Earthquake Monitoring Network) Earthquake Microzonation in urban areas Risk assessment (Hazard and Vulnerability) in the region in coordination with the global initiative Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Training of local scientists and technicians on seismological instrumentations, data analysis and seismic risk assessment.

11 Landslide monitoring Communication GPS Optical sensors IKONOS et o. Radar sensors Terra-SAR, Cosmo Skymed Communication Airborne optical + Laser sensors ARES + Lidar Early Warning Corner Reflector s GPS network Climate station Parts of seism. Network Seismometer, Accelerometer

12 Landslides distribution map 86 landslides occurred for without any meager damage

13 Mini-project Deformation in the Pamir-Alai area: Nura earthquake, 2008 using Radar Interferometry

14 Preliminary results of InSAR technique Interpolated SRTM DEM SRTM DEM overplayed with deformation map

15 March 12, 2010 flood in Kazakhstan due to rupture on the dam at village Kyzyl-Agash The aftermath of the flood in the village of Kyzyl-Agash March 15, 2010 The death toll from the flood 34, thousand evacuated Emergencies Ministry informed. Spring flooding is a frequent occurrence in Central Asia but a sudden rise in temperatures following weeks of heavy snow storms has exacerbated the problem this year.

16 Emergency Observation were requested on ALOS data False Color Composite (FCC) before FCC after the flood, the image clearly shows wet areas

17 Disaster area maps were created by visual interpretation from ALOS data and by Topographic maps (scale 1: ) and information from Ministry of emergency situations. The underflooding zone of the Balhash sea area is square kilometers and Kyzyl Agash flood area is square kilometers.
