Abstract:
Purpose. To analyze the development of landslide processes in the village areas, study the causes of the destruction of the coastline of Lake Alakol, and develop recommendations for coastal protection measures. To assess the impact of key geological, hydrological, and climatic factors on the intensity of abrasion processes and the dynamics of the coastline.
Methodology. The methodology includes a comprehensive approach. Monitoring of the shoreline was conducted, covering the measurement of erosion speed and direction, evaluation of sediment volumes, analysis of changes in the coastline and geomorphological features. Computer modeling was used to predict destructive processes, considering multiple factors such as hydrological conditions, lithological composition of rocks, and climatic conditions. Retrospective analysis of long-term observation data and photographs revealed patterns in the development of shoreline changes.
Findings. The changes in the shoreline of Lake Alakol are related to the complex interaction of natural and anthropogenic factors. The main causes of shoreline destruction were identified, including active landslides, wave erosion, and changes in the hydrological regime. Measures for shore strengthening were proposed: installation of breakwaters, slope reinforcements, planting vegetation, creation of artificial beaches, and other engineering measures. A program for predicting coastal destruction using mathematical models has been developed, which allows for effective planning of measures to protect them.
Originality. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the integration of modern monitoring, analysis, and modeling methods to study the dynamics of coastal processes. This approach provides a deeper understanding of the causes of shoreline destruction and contributes to the development of optimal engineering solutions.
Practical value. Recommendations are developed that can be used for strengthening the shores of Lake Alakol, as well as preventing exogenous geological processes (shoreline abrasion, landslides, landslips, collapses, gully formation, etc.) at other water bodies.
Keywords: abrasion, landslides, shoreline erosion, monitoring, coastline, Lake Alakol
