Water levels in inland seas and lakes globally will drop, often dramatically, over the 21st century in response to climate change. Based on the case of the Caspian Sea, we argue for a concerted campaign to raise awareness of threats to people, biodiversity and geopolitical stability.

The fate of the Caspian Sea under projected climate change and water extraction during the 21st century
The Caspian Sea (CS) delivers considerable ecosystem services to millions of people. It experienced water level variations of 3 m during the 20th century alone. Robust scenarios of future CS level…
Hydrology, biogeochemistry and metabolism in a semi-arid mediterranean coastal wetland ecosystem
A LOICZ Budget Model is applied to the Ichkeul Lake, a wetland ecosystem of the South Mediterranean-North African region, to evaluate its functioning in order to boost water management. The Ichkeul…

Saline lakes as barriers against pollution: a multidisciplinary overview
Saline lakes as barriers against pollution: a multidisciplinary overview Saline lakes are subject to numerous environmental impacts closely related to human activities, including mining, desiccation…
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as Supporting Tools in the Monitoring and Water Management of Lakes in Poland: A Review
Abstract A multitude of spatial relations between the lake and its catchment prompts both water managers and scientists to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The paper presents the possibility…
Palynology and Sedimentology of the Pliocene Productive Series from Eastern Azerbaijan
ABSTRACT A palynological study of 239 outcrop samples and their sedimentological context was undertaken on the Pliocene Productive Series in the Kirmaky and Yasamal valleys, eastern Azerbaijan. The…
Taxonomic, ecological and morphological diversity of Ponto-Caspian gammaridean amphipods: a review
TLDR
Ponto-Caspian gammarids could be a potentially powerful model for studying adaptive radiations and invasive species evolution, and four putative ecomorphs that appear convergent with distantly related oceanic and Baikal Lake taxa are proposed.
A DNA barcode reference library for endemic Ponto-Caspian amphipods
TLDR
The results indicate that DNA barcoding is valuable for clarifying the diversity of Ponto-Caspian amphipods, but reveals that extensive work is needed to resolve taxonomic uncertainties.
Poor hDNA-Derived NGS Data May Provide Sufficient Phylogenetic Information of Potentially Extinct Taxa
TLDR
This study studied two probably extinct gastropod species of the genus Laevicaspia to map “standard” mitochondrial and nuclear markers and assess both the sequencing depth and the proportion of ambiguous sites as an indicator for the phylogenetic quality of the NGS data.

Declining oxygen in the global ocean and coastal waters
TLDR
Improved numerical models of oceanographic processes that control oxygen depletion and the large-scale influence of altered biogeochemical cycles are needed to better predict the magnitude and spatial patterns of deoxygenation in the open ocean, as well as feedbacks to climate.
Global lake responses to climate change
Climate change is one of the most severe threats to global lake ecosystems. Lake surface conditions, such as ice cover, surface temperature, evaporation and water level, respond dramatically to this…
