Armenia
Underwater research will be conducted in Lake Sevan in the period
from June 21 to 30, 2010.
This French-Armenian mission will be carried out by two authors
of the program - Claude Tulumjian (initiator) and Stephan Kojayan
(assistant), in cooperation with research centers affiliated with the
National Academy of Sciences of Armenia and state structures engaged
in solution of Lake Sevan problems.
According to the mission members, the underwater research aims at
getting specimens for scientists (water, gas, sediments, slime),
video films and photographs, holding fauna registration (fish,
crayfish) and flora description, getting topographic data to be used
for underwater archaeological excavations or geological researches,
discovering underwater caves, holding stream measurements, etc.
The program relates to the following spheres: hydrogeology and fish
breeding, geological sciences, ecological and noosphere researches,
archaeology and ethnography, cave science and history and collaborates
with the Ayas Nautical Research Club led by Karen Balayan.
The totality of data will be provided to Armenian scientists for
conducting researches, the results of which directly relate to
ecological balance of this fresh water reservoir which is of much
strategic importance and regional significance.
Besides, the data will make it possible to raise local population's
awareness of Lake Sevan through reports and notifications.
