Summary
[edit]DescriptionTyuleniy Archipelago, Caspian Sea.jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 25 January 2021, shows the sea ice that surrounds the Tyuleniy Archipelago in the Caspian Sea. Despite its relatively low latitude, the sea surface around the archipelago is covered in sea ice every winter. Due to its location leaving it vulnerable to the effects of climate change, the area covered in sea ice is decreasing year after year, both in extension and temporal duration. In spring, the Tyuleniy Archipelago becomes a biodiversity hotspot: it has been recognised as an Important Bird Area of Kazakhstan and a National Protected Zone (State Reservation) because of the large concentrations of seagulls and wetland birds, such as coots, wild ducks, swans, egrets and waders that inhabit it during their nesting period. The Copernicus Sentinel missions provide high frequency data useful for monitoring ecosystems and their response to climate change. |
