The World Bank the STATE STATISTICAL COMMITTEE of the REPUBLIC of TAJIKISTAN Foreword
The World Bank THE STATE STATISTICAL COMMITTEE OF THE REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN Foreword This atlas is the culmination of a significant effort to deliver a snapshot of the socio-economic situation in Tajikistan at the time of the 2000 Census. The atlas arose out of a need to gain a better understanding among Government Agencies and NGOs about the spatial distribution of poverty, through its many indicators, and also to provide this information at a lower level of geographical disaggregation than was previously available, that is, the Jamoat. Poverty is multi-dimensional and as such the atlas includes information on a range of different indicators of the well- being of the population, including education, health, economic activity and the environment. A unique feature of the atlas is the inclusion of estimates of material poverty at the Jamoat level. The derivation of these estimates involves combining the detailed information on household expenditures available from the 2003 Tajikistan Living Standards Survey and the national coverage of the 2000 Census using statistical modelling. This is the first time that this complex statistical methodology has been applied in Central Asia and Tajikistan is proud to be at the forefront of such innovation. It is hoped that the atlas will be of use to all those interested in poverty reduction and improving the lives of the Tajik population. Professor Shabozov Mirgand Chairman Tajikistan State Statistical Committee Project Overview The Socio-economic Atlas, including a poverty map for the country, is part of the on-going Poverty Dialogue Program of the World Bank in collaboration with the Government of Tajikistan. -
Miocene Exhumation of the Pamir Revealed by Detrital Geothermochronology of Tajik Rivers C
TECTONICS, VOL. 31, TC2014, doi:10.1029/2011TC003040, 2012 Miocene exhumation of the Pamir revealed by detrital geothermochronology of Tajik rivers C. E. Lukens,1 B. Carrapa,1,2 B. S. Singer,3 and G. Gehrels2 Received 4 October 2011; revised 6 February 2012; accepted 26 February 2012; published 18 April 2012. [1] The Pamir mountains are the western continuation of the Tibetan-Himalayan system, the largest and highest orogenic system on Earth. Detrital geothermochronology applied to modern river sands from the western Pamir of Tajikistan records the history of sediment source crystallization, cooling, and exhumation. This provides important information on the timing of tectonic processes, relief formation, and erosion during orogenesis. U-Pb geochronology of detrital zircons and 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology of white micas from five rivers draining distinct tectonic terranes in the western Pamir document Paleozoic through Cenozoic crystallization ages and a Miocene (13–21 Ma) cooling signal. Detrital zircon U-Pb ages show Proterozoic through Cenozoic ages and affinity with Asian rocks in Tibet. The detrital 40Ar/39Ar data set documents deep and regional exhumation of the Pamir mountains >30 Myr after Indo-Asia collision, which is best explained with widespread erosion of metamorphic domes. This exhumation signal coincides with deposition of over 6 km of conglomerates in the adjacent foreland, documenting high subsidence, sedimentation, and regional exhumation in the region. Our data are consistent with a high relief landscape and orogen-wide exhumation at 13–21 Ma and correlate with the timing of exhumation of the Pamir gneiss domes. This exhumation is younger in the Pamir than that observed in neighboring Tibet and is consistent with higher magnitude Cenozoic deformation and shortening in this part of the orogenic system. -

Within these 15 years, starting from a vision, we have strongly grown to a large, well-known, worldwide family with all of our customers, representatives, affiliates, employees and suppliers. We believe that it is our family that brings the best out of us by encouraging, demanding, listening, questioning, teaching, learning, researching and most importantly responsibly valuing all that we are standing for. Many of our liaisons are more than just business links which enabled GeoSIG to deliver optimum products, solutions and services with the best value regarding any specific requirement. With this opportunity we would most frankly like to thank to everyone that have contributed to the development and strength of this family and its continuing success towards many new endeavours. We like to smile with you… Earthquake Monitoring System Above 3’200 m Altitude, Lake Sarez, Tajikistan A massive landslide triggered by a strong earthquake in 1911 became a large dam along the Murghob River in the Pamir mountains of Tajikistan, now called the Usoi Dam. Lake sarez is the resulting lake that is formed above surrounding drainages at an elevation greater than 3200m. The lake is about 56 km long, 3.5 km wide and 500 m deep, which holds an estimated 17 km3 of water. -
東中jr09004 中央アジア概況調査-En 0
No. Regional and Country Profile: Central Asia, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan June 2009 Japan Interntional Cooperation Agency OPMAC Corporation 東中 JR 09-004 Outline of the Study 1-1 Backgrounds Bordered by Asia to the east and Europe to the west, Central Asia occupies a vital position in the Eurasian Continent. Possessing abundant underground reserves of petroleum, gas, gold, uranium ore and other underground resources, and occupying a strategically vital geopolitical location, Central Asia has historically been the focus of competing interests by various powers. Central Asia is surrounded by the superpowers of Russia and China, and today is affected by regional instability in the neighboring Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan, etc. Especially in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001, worldwide attention has been directed towards the stability and development of the whole South Asian region including this area and Afghanistan, and vested interests have become increasingly complicated. Moreover, against a background of growing energy demand in China, India and other parts of Asia, the stable supply of petroleum and natural gas from Central Asia helps stabilize the international energy market and enhances regional importance from the viewpoint of energy security too. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the republics of Central Asia respectively gained independence, and a number of regional organizations, i.e. the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and Eurasia Economic Community (EAEC), etc. were established under a mélange of economic, diplomatic and military interests in Central Asia and environs. Concerning relations with Japan, the concept of Silk Road Diplomacy was enunciated in 1997. -
Diversity of the Mountain Flora of Central Asia with Emphasis on Alkaloid-Producing Plants

Major mountains include Saur, Tarbagatai, Dzungarian Alatau, Tien Shan, Pamir-Alai and Kopet Dag. Because a range of altitudinal belts exists, the region is characterized by high biological diversity at ecosystem, species and population levels. In addition, the contact between Asian and Mediterranean flora in Central Asia has created unique plant communities. More than 8100 plant species have been recorded for the territory of Central Asia; about 5000–6000 of them grow in the mountains. The aim of this review is to summarize all the available data from 1930 to date on alkaloid-containing plants of the Central Asian mountains. In Saur 301 of a total of 661 species, in Tarbagatai 487 out of 1195, in Dzungarian Alatau 699 out of 1080, in Tien Shan 1177 out of 3251, in Pamir-Alai 1165 out of 3422 and in Kopet Dag 438 out of 1942 species produce alkaloids. The review also tabulates the individual alkaloids which were detected in the plants from the Central Asian mountains. -
