Russia developing Caspian Sea research program — Putin
Baku, October 9, AZERTAC
Russia is developing a Caspian Sea research program through 2030 and plans to create a digital twin of the Caspian Sea with the AI use to forecast water level fluctuations of the sea, TASS reported citing President Vladimir Putin who addressed the Caspian Environmental Summit.
"The Russian government is preparing a comprehensive program to study changes in the Caspian Sea water level and mitigate its adverse impacts. The program is slated to run through 2030. It provides for numerous research initiatives, the findings of which we will certainly share with all the parties," Putin stressed.
"I would also like to mention the Russian proposal to create a digital twin of the Caspian Sea. This refers to a high-precision virtual model leveraging artificial intelligence algorithms based on the analysis of evaporation dynamics, precipitation, and the river layer. With this model, reliable scenarios of Caspian Sea water level changes could be calculated," the head of state noted. This model could be applied to refine and adjust navigation routes, and to enhance navigation safety, Putin said.
The Russian leader invited CIS member-states to join this initiative.
