lems of soil degradation and desertification, in particular, the role of dust and sand storms in the processes of
land and soil degradation and desertification during her
Ph.D. study. Currently, she is interested in and focusing
on water resources and lakes (availability, state and
consumption/ use) and Aeolian processes in Central
Asian countries. Dr. Issanova has published many SCI
papers in international peer-reviewed journals with a
high level and wrote a handbook, How to Write
Scientific Papers for International Peer-Reviewed
Journals (in Russian and Kazakh languages). She is an
author and co-author of several monographs: Aeolian
processes as dust storms in the deserts of Central Asia
and Kazakhstan (2017), Man-Made Ecology of East
Kazakhstan (2018), Hydrology and Limnology of
Central Asia (2019), Geomechanical Processes and
Their Assessment in the Rock Massifs in Central
Kazakhstan (2020) by Springer Nature. She became a
laureate of the international award “Springer Top
Author” and was awarded in the Nomination “Springer
Young Scientist Awards-2016” for high publication
activity in scientific journals published by Springer
Nature. Dr. Issanova was included in the list of “Top-8
Young Scientists and Top-18 Leading Scientists from
Kazakhstan” in 2016.
Rustam Orozbaev is a senior research scientist and an
acting director at the Institute of Geology, National
Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic. He
obtained his master’s (M.Sc., 2005) and doctoral (D.
Sc., 2010) degrees in geology from the Shimane
University (Japan). Dr. Orozbaev studied geology, geochemistry and the nature and dynamics of deep fluids
in subduction zones at Kyoto University (Japan) as
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)
postdoctoral research fellow from 2011 to 2014. His
research areas are geology, petrology, tectonics, mining and environmental geology of the Tien-Shan Mts.
Dr. Orozbaev received several awards from the Kyrgyz
National Academy of Sciences and the Geochemical
Society of Japan for his scientific achievements and
published papers.
