Main area of activity of organization: |
1. The
research regularity development of the nature and natural resources Azerbaijan’s,
problem organization of industry, social Infrastructures and territorial accommodation of
the population, and also Ecogeographical feature of country.
2.Problems of constructive and regional geography of the Azerbaijan.

Main scientific achievements made over
the last five years: |
Written
and published by III monographic volume: Constructive Geography of Azerbaijan.
In connection with a land reform the system and new technique nature - agricultural
geographical demarcation of Azerbaijan is designed. Is drawn up two new maps to scale
1:50000.
The explanatory dictionary 5000 geographic namings existing on terrain of modern Armenia
up to XX of century is drawn up. On the basis of researches the fitting these terrains the
Azerbaijan people is demonstrated.
Restored quantity indicators of climate existing on terrain of Azerbaijan in Absheron,
Turkan and Baku terms. Is rotined the tendencies of increase cooling and aridiation
in the indicated terms.
On the basis of researches perennial changes of climate is established, that in last
100 years on terrain of Azerbaijan temperature of air was increased approximately on 1,000C,
quantity of precipitations, except for large cities, was increased on 7-8%.
Established enhancements of activity of villages on terrain of the Azerbaijan Republic,
the new scale estimation of villages on ball system is drawn up, the measures on strife
with negative consequences are offered.
On the basis decoding of new aerospace images the maps (1:100 000) geographic area, type,
cause, degree and forecast of a desertification of the Azerbaijan coastal area are drawn
up, the measures of strife with a desertification are prepared.
The forecast silting up and intensity of dynamics of the Azerbaijan water storage basins
is given.
For parameterization of exchange in a system the atmosphere and sea non-stasionary model
of a drive atmospheric slice was developing.
The correlation between fluctuation levels of the Caspian sea and solar activity is
established, the semiempirical formula is obtained and the long-range forecasting of a
level of the Caspian sea is given.
The physicsal and geographical model for the forecast distribution of contaminants in the
Caspian sea is developed under different hydrometeorological conditions.
The complex the hydrometeorological atlas of the Caspian sea is compounded.
For this period the Institute of Geography prepares following atlases and maps:
The Agroclimaticale Atlas of the Azerbaijan Republic, 124 maps
The atlas of natural environments and resources of the Azerbaijan Republic, 300 maps
The complex hydrometeorological Atlas of the Caspian sea, 274 maps.
The atlas paleogeographical cards shelf’s of Eurasia in Mesozoic and Cenozoic, 129
maps.
Land-geochemical map of the Azerbaijan Republic (1:500 000).
The pleysonogical of a map for terrain Azerbaijan (1: 50 000).
The historical-georaphical map titles of the Azerbaijan parentage on terrain of the
Armenian Republic (1: 250 000)
The maps of area, types, causes, degree and forecast of a desertification in
Azerbaijan coastal zone of the Caspian Sea (1: 200000). |

Brief information on the
organization’s history: |
The
Institute of Geography National Academy Sciences of Azerbaijan was organized in
1945 on the basis sector of geography. For these years activity of
Institute were diffused to planning, organization and implementation of methodical control
of all geographic researches. Main directions of activity of Institute were landscape,
geomorphology and cartography. In 1949 the departments of a climatology and hydrology were
formed. Was built Pirguli (nearly city Shemakha) meteorological station. Since 1970 one of
reference directions of activity of institute is the geography of soils.
Large development of Institute was creation in 1953 of Center for Caspian sea
problems. At the command of Center there were 3 research ships and naval base arranged on
about island Pirallakhi. The total number working in Center is 120 persons. One of
reference directions of researches are the problems of the Caspian sea. In 1972 for the
first time on world there is a marine observatory in the open part of the Caspian sea.
Since 1980 one of priority directions of institute activity was a problem of a
desertification of the Azerbaijan republic. Now under the data of space observations
dynamics process of a desertification is studied.
Now Institute works on two reference directions, 25 researches on 17 subjects are carried
out. A total number working in Institute 250 persons. Among them 2 academicians, 2
corresponding members ÀS, 13 doctors of sciences and professors, 60 candidates of
sciences. In Institute there is a department of a post graduate courses preparing staff
for scientific activity. Starting 1960 in Institute specialized advice on candidate
and doctoral thesis’s in the field of geography. |
