Geological Framework and Hydrocarbon Potential of the Tajik Depression
The Tajik Depression occupies a central position in southwestern Tajikistan, forming a key segment of the vast Amu Darya–Tajik basin system that stretches across parts of Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan. It represents one of the most promising yet underexplored petroleum provinces in Central Asia. The basin’s development reflects the long interaction between Tethyan oceanic closure,

Structural Evolution and Salt Tectonics of the Tajik Basin, Central Asia
The Tajik Basin, nestled between the Pamir Mountains to the east and the Afghan-Tien Shan ranges to the west, is one of Central Asia’s most complex sedimentary depressions. It records the ongoing convergence between the Indian and Eurasian plates, capturing millions of years of tectonic shortening, folding, and crustal thickening. Its thick Mesozoic–Cenozoic strata preserve

Wind Energy Geographies
In Tajikistan’s broad valleys, where mountain winds carve through the Gissar and Khatlon plains, air is no longer just weather—it’s becoming a resource. Long known for its rivers and hydropower, the country is beginning to rediscover a quieter force: the geography of wind. Turbines are still rare here, silhouettes against a skyline dominated by mountains

Energy Geographies: Rural Hydropower Microgrids
Across the narrow valleys of Tajikistan, where rivers fall fast and villages cling to slopes far from the national grid, hydropower has taken on a new geography. Not the monumental kind of Soviet-era dams like Nurek or Baipaza, but a network of smaller, quieter installations—micro-hydropower stations built along tributaries, canals, and alpine streams. These rural

Soils, Agriculture, Tajikistan, Erosion, Salinity, Farming, Land Management, Central Asia
The rivers of Tajikistan move fast. Snowmelt pours from glaciers, tumbling through gorges, twisting around boulders, white spray catching the light. For centuries these waters carved valleys, nourished fields, and gave rhythm to life. Today, they carry another kind of power: electricity. Hydropower plants line the Vakhsh and other rivers, their dams rising like walls
