Lake Issyk-Kul is a closed lake located in the Tien Shan mountain
belt of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. It is the world's fifth deepest
lake (668 m) and the second largest high altitude lake in the world
(1607 m above sea level). The lake is affected by several
environmental threats of both anthropogenic and natural origin:
decline of the lake level resulting in progressively increasing
salinity, incomplete vertical water exchange, and risk of
contamination by past and present industrial activity.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the future of the world cannot be sustained without scientific support, analysis, prediction and the use of scientific achievement. The immensity of the problems confronting us, coupled with the limited financial resources available, urgently demand the selection of priority areas of research, with a global combination of scientific effort. The new geopolitical situation has uncovered Russia's and the former Soviet Union's scientific potential. This has given rise to wider opportunities for involvement in work on international projects and programmes, many of which are discussed in the present volume. The book addresses specifically priority fields of science in which joint, multidisciplinary research should be developed, encompassing rational use of natural resources and regional sustainable development, as well as the monitoring of the biosphere's ecosystem state and the risks of natural and anthropogenic hazards, and the creation of new materials and technologies. The list of priorities includes Siberia's economic, social and humanitarian problems, as well as the development of information systems for the rapid exchange of scientific data. There is a recognised need for the involvement of young scientists in partnership laboratories, in a probationary capacity.
