1 International Workshop on the Northern Eurasia High Mountain Ecosystems B.Moldobekov, H.Echtler HEchtler Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan September 8-15, 2009

2 GFZ: Focus on Central Asia 1992 Space Geodesy Observation Campaigns for Geodynamic Research 2002 Cooperation Agreement w/ Kyrgyz Republic for foundation of CAIAG 2006 CAIAG Inauguration in Bishkek 2007 Global Change Observatory launched 2008 GFZ / CAIAG Joint Proposal for Water Research Network Central Asia (CAWa)

3 Global Change Observatory Central Asia Global Change Observatory Central Asia

4 ZentralAsiatisches Institut für Angewandte Geowissenschaften, Bishkek Kirgistan Global Change Observatory Central Asia Research concept: Water cycle in Central Asia Geodynamics in an active continental collision zone Geohazards and human vulnerability Interaction climate and tectonic Cenozoic and anthropogene climate change, Monsunal and subarctic Dynamics Human impact in geoeco-systems and water cycle Geodynamics, Seismicity, Erosion and landslides High elevation, glacier dynamics and GLOF s

6 Global Change Observatory Central Asia TEMPUS IV (VW-Stiftung) Subsurface and surface processes Understanding continent-continent collision Monitoring seismicity Monitoring landslides TIPAGE (DFG/GFZ) SEISMIC ARRAY (GFZ/NATO) Climate and water dynamics Evaluation of anthropogenic habitat Soil quality and vegetation Water and land-use management Strategies for poverty reduction Vulnerability to hazards Geodynamics CAWa (DAA) Climate variability Aridity and hydrologic cycle Searching for links between climate and tectonics ISSYKUL (ICDP/DFG)

7 ZentralAsiatisches Institut für Angewandte Geowissenschaften R&D programme , coordinated on the initiative of GFZ Central Asian Global Change Observatory, GCO. Main objectives: Climate and Water Geodynamics and Geo hazards Monitoring systems and capacity building 7 projects: 1. Preparatory geological and geophysical research of the Sarydjaz river basin as the region for future construction of a hydroelectric power system 2. Preparation of infrastructure for landslide phenomena research using remote sensing and ground observation methods (in a pilot area of mountain ridge of the Fergana basin, inner Tien Shan) 3. Seismic micro zonation of Bishkek city territory 4. Studying and monitoring of the Inylchek glacier with the goal of defining the glacier balance, its morphological and dynamic characteristics and its climatologic and hydrological conditions 5. Study of runoff regularities in southern Kyrgyzstan in connection with climate change for assessing the intensity of erosiveprocessesand precipitation transfer into the basin of the Toktogul basin 6. Geo Data Base of Central Asia 7. Assembly of a monitoring system for dangerous phenomena in a quasi real time mode

8 CentralAsian Institute for Applied Geosciences Ongoing AA-projects: Central Asian Water CAWA, GFZ and network Cross-Border Natural Disaster Prevention in Central Asia, Seismology, Microzonation other TIPAGE, Geodynamics in a continental collision zone Task Force (earthquake 6.Okt.2008, GFZ) Erosion on the Earth s Surface: Quantification of Geomorphic Processes in Space and Time (Helmhotz Nachwuchsf.-gruppe, Bodo Bookhagen) Climate change, exhumation, thermochronology in the TienShan (DFG-project; Ed Sobel, Zaiag) Deep seismic survey, Lake Issykul, (DFG-project 2009; Nissen, Gebhart, Oberhänsli) Central Asian Orogenic Belts CAOB, Topo-Asia, Kooperation China (ILP workshop 06-09) Tien Shan lithospheric architecture and dynamics from integrative modelling of new satellite gravity, GPS, SAR and seismic i data SPP 1257 Mass Transport and Mass Distribution ib ti in the Earth System, DFG; Kaban et al. Landslide initiative, Janssen, Roessner et al.; GEOHAZARDS Paleoclimate Initiative, S. Prasad, Oberhänsli et al, BMBF-round table, Helmholtz High Elevation Observatory, Inylchek Glacial Lakes Outburst Floods (GLOFs) in Central Asia, Inylchek glacier study

10 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 RS RAS (IVTAN) stations.
