STS091-719-64
Southeastern Caspian Sea coast, Turkmenistan. In the present episode of sea-level change, waters of the Caspian regressed to their lowest level in 1977; by 1985 there were clear indications that transgression was under way, and over the past twenty years sea level has risen 2.6 m. The effects of relative fall and rise are visible along the southeastern shore where topographic relief is subdued. In this beautifully detailed view, the progressive inundation of coastal dune fields and of the shore can be seen.
