Abstract

In 1960, the Aral Sea’s volume was slightly more than 1,000 km3 with a salinity of ~10 g/L. Its level stood at ~53 m above the world-ocean’s mean sea-level—almost what it was ca. 200 ad—but, by 2007, its level had dropped to ~30 m above the world’s prevailing ocean level (Glantz 2007; Micklin 2007) (Fig. 1.)
