The Current State of Gravimetric Research in Kazakhstan and the Possibility of Using Satellite Gravimetry for Monitoring Water Bodies
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article examines the current state and application of gravimetric surveys in Kazakhstan, with a particular focus on the use of satellite gravimetry, specifically data from the GRACE and GRACE-FO missions, for monitoring water bodies and environmental changes. The study highlights the significant role of gravimetric methods in investigating the deep tectonic structure of ore-bearing regions and in developing a geoid model of Kazakhstan. The modern level of scientific development provides broad opportunities for applying artificial intelligence algorithms, including machine learning and deep learning, as well as conducting research using satellite data. This scientific study presents the results of an analysis of information on the dynamics of water resources and glacial systems in Kazakhstan, where a machine learning algorithm was applied to improve the spatial resolution of GRACE monitoring results. The research findings confirm that the use of GRACE satellite data allows for large-scale monitoring studies and can be utilized to obtain data on the state and dynamics of water resources and glacial systems. The article emphasizes the transformative impact of the GRACE mission on Earth sciences, contributing to improved strategies for mitigating the effects of climate change and effective environmental management, which is crucial for the sustainable development of Kazakhstan.
