Caspian Sea has causes different beach response during rapid sea level changing and the coasts of Caspian Sea
have been classified to three morphodynamic condition (Accretion, intermediate and erosion). So low steepness
beach in the north to north west and East to south east have high degree physical vulnerability to Caspian Sea
fluctuation and the high steepness beach in the south and western part of Caspian Sea have low inundation risk
during sea level rise. Now a day Caspian Sea level has been decreasing since 1995 years and many of marginal
basins like Miankaleh lagoon and Gorgan bay in the south-eastern of Caspian Sea submerged and drought.
Authors’ Contributions
I am interested to have special thanks from Prof. Dr Ramiz Mammedov who has been professional collaboration with me to prepare
this paper and I must confess that he had huge effort to monitoring Caspian Sea hydromorphology characteristics. It was appreciated
him for all attempting and kindness.
Acknowledgments
It is vital pleasure to thank, all experts and academic member who accompanied with us in this research paper, we acknowledged the
institute of geography of academy science of Azerbaijan republic and Caspian Sea national research and study center of Iran, which
support us to have some data and information associated to Caspian sea hydromorphology and fluctuation.
