Welcome
The IGCP project 481 CASPAGE (Dating Caspian Sea Level Change) aims unite scientists interested in establishing a precise Caspian sea-level curve for the recent geological past. This can help us in understanding the pace of global change in the northern hemisphere in the past, and to improve prediction of future Caspian sea-level change and its environmental consequences. The first three meetings were held in Moscow/Astrakhan, Russia (2003), Baku, Azerbaijan (2004) and Rasht, Islamic Republic of Iran (2005). The project is coordinated by Prof. Salomon Kroonenberg (Delft, the Netherlands) and Prof. Suzanne Leroy (Brunel University, UK). You can find the project programme, conference abstracts, mission reports and photogalleries on our website www.caspage.citg.tudelft.nl.

Objectives
Sea level change is one of the most pervasive environmental processes that have affected humanity in the past and will continue to do so in the future. This meeting aims to discuss natural and man-made causes and consequences of sea-level change, at a site which has experienced rapid sea-level change at a rate a hundred times that of global eustasy during the last century: the Caspian Sea.
