For many years, the primary environmental problem of the Caspian Sea has been oil pollution, which is associated both with oil production and transportation, as well as changes in sea level, leading to secondary pollution, river runoff and even seismic activity, which provokes natural oil spills from the bottom of the sea. Abnormal bloom of waters every year becomes more and more long and covers more and more areas, and also occurs in areas where it was not previously observed. However, the current state of the sea, and the trends of its evolution has not been studied enough, which determines the relevance of the solution of the main task of the ongoing Russian Science Foundation Project “Assessing ecological variability of the Caspian Sea in the current century using satellite remote sensing data”. Implementation of the proposed project will assess the relative contribution of each of the sources of pollution of the Caspian Sea, which varies in different periods depending on climatic factors, on the intensity of various hydrodynamic and hydrometeorological processes, on seismic activity and human economic activity. The goal of the project is to assess the changes in the ecological state of the Caspian Sea since the beginning of the current century under the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors. This calls for a detailed analysis of large banks of satellite data acquired over the Caspian Sea from 1999 to 2022 jointly with multi-year hydrometeorological and in situ data. The goal is achievable due to powerful capabilities of the “See the Sea” (STS) information portal developed by the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) as part of IKI - Monitoring Center for Collective Use. STS offers oceanographers new and unique tools to work with remote sensing data, enabling comprehensive analysis of data different in physical nature, spatial resolution and time of acquisition.

<p>This research aims to depict ontological findings related to topical seismic phenomena within the Hellenic-Seismic-Arc via deep-data-mining of the existing big-seismological-dataset, encompassing a deep-learning neural network model for pattern recognition along with heterogeneous parallel processing-enabled interactive big data visualization. Using software that utilizes the R language, seismic data were 3D plotted on a 3D Cartesian plane point cloud viewer for further investigation of the formed three-dimensional morphology. As a means of mining information from seismic big data, a deep neural network was trained and refined for pattern recognition and occurrence manifestation attributes of seismic data of magnitudes greater than Ms 4.0. The deep learning neural network comprises of an input layer with six input neurons for the insertion of year, month, day, latitude, longitude and depth, followed by six hidden layers with a hundred neurons each, and one output layer of the estimated magnitude level. This approach was conceptualised to investigate for topical patterns in time yielding minor, interim and strong seismic activity, such as the one depicted by the deep learning neural network, observed in the past ten years on the region between Syrna and Kandelioussa. This area’s coordinates are around 36,4 degrees in latitude and 26,7 degrees in longitude, with the deep learning neural network achieving low error rates, possibly depicting a pattern in seismic activity.</p><p>References</p><p>Axaridou A., I.
