Delegation of the Aktau Branch of KazNIPI Visits the Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences at Al-Farabi KazNU

The Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University hosted a working meeting with a delegation from the Aktau Branch of KazNIPI.
 

The purpose of the visit was to introduce the delegation to the Faculty’s research infrastructure, laboratories, and ongoing projects, as well as to discuss prospects for cooperation in geomechanics, geodesy, geoinformation technologies, remote sensing, and environmental monitoring.

During the meeting, the guests were introduced to the activities of the Research Center for Sustainable Development and Environmental Management. The delegation visited laboratories specializing in digital cartography and applied geodesy, geoinformation analysis of landscape degradation, soil ecology, water resources modeling, environmental safety, climate and modeling, GLOBALSKY, as well as the Kazakhstan-China Joint Laboratory for Remote Sensing Technology and Applications.

Particular attention was given to the application of high-precision geodetic methods, GIS technologies, satellite data, unmanned aerial vehicles, and digital modeling for territorial assessment and the monitoring of deformation, natural, and technogenic processes.

The participants also discussed opportunities for joint research, including the integration of geomechanical methods with remote monitoring and spatial analysis technologies. Such approaches can be applied to assess territorial stability, monitor engineering facilities, and study natural and technogenic risks, including those relevant to the regions of Western Kazakhstan.

At the conclusion of the meeting, both sides expressed their interest in further scientific and technical cooperation, the implementation of joint projects, and the exchange of professional expertise.
