Participation of Senior Lecturers Meruert Beisembekova and Zhanbolat Lyazat in the 17th International Coastal Symposium (ICS2024)

Senior lecturers Meruert Beisembekova and Zhanbolat Lyazat from the Department of Mechanics at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics participated in the 17th International Coastal Symposium (ICS2024), held from September 24 to 27 in Doha, Qatar. This prestigious event gathered leading scientists and specialists from around the world to discuss pressing issues in coastal research and their impact on the environment. We are proud that our lecturers were the only representatives from CIS countries.

At the symposium, Meruert Beisembekova and Zhanbolat Lyazat presented a poster over three days, showcasing the results of the research project "Investigation of Lake Balkhash’s Wave Climate Using Altimetric Data," which was carried out with the financial support of the Science Committee of the MSHE of KR (grant No. AP14871838) — "Investigation of the Wave Climate of Kazakhstan's Water Bodies Using Satellite Altimetry Data."

The participation of senior lecturers Meruert Beisembekova and Zhanbolat Lyazat in the 17th International Coastal Symposium (ICS2024) highlights the importance of SDG 13: Climate Action. Discussing the relevant issues of coastal research and their impact on the environment is a key aspect in the fight against climate change. Research presented at the symposium, such as studies on wave climate, helps to understand its effects on ecosystems, which in turn contributes to the development of effective adaptation strategies to climate change.

Furthermore, this event serves as a vivid example of SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals. The international symposium gathered leading scientists and specialists from around the world, creating a platform for knowledge and experience exchange. Such cooperation between different countries and research institutions is essential for achieving sustainable development and addressing global challenges related to climate change and environmental protection.

The development of Earth Remote Sensing (ERS) is rapidly gaining momentum worldwide, and this symposium was a clear example of its importance to the global scientific community. We encourage all students of our "Space Engineering and Technology" specialization to actively engage in scientific research, as these technologies represent the future!
