Having been the fourth largest lake on the globe roughly 50 years ago, today the Aral Sea no longer exists. The first section provides an overview of the physical characteristics of the area and covers geological, pedological, geomorphological and climatological aspects and their dynamics, especially dust-storm dynamics.
