Spatio-Temporal Variability of Wind Energy in the Caspian Sea: An Ecosystem Service Modeling Approach
Journal: Remote Sensing
Year: 2022

The ecosystem services that can be obtained from the oceans and seas are very diverse; one of the sources of energy is wind power. The Caspian Sea is characterized by a fragile ecosystem that is under serious anthropogenic stress, including oil and gas production and transportation. In particular, rich oil and gas resources in the region make renewables less important for the Caspian Sea Region. Depletion of hydrocarbon resources, a rise of their price on the international markets, geopolitical
