“…Between 1989 and 1999, a Russian drilling program retrieved cores from sediments and presented new insights into the Holocene lake's history and environmental evolution using analyses of radiocarbon, diatoms, spores, and pollen in the book Limnology and Paleolimnology of Mongolia by Sevastyanov et al (1994) [54]. Tarasov et al (1996Tarasov et al ( , 1998 [55,56], Rudaya et al (2009) [57], and Sevastianov and Dorofeyuk (2005) [58] published on Holocene biomes. In western Mongolia, a German-Mongolian drilling program from between 1995 and 2004 focused on Uvs Nuur and other lakes and presented the first picture of paleoenvironmental evolution dating back to the Late Pleistocene based on radiocarbon and pollen analyses [15,18,19,59].…”

The over 2200 lakes of Mongolia are generally poorly studied, particularly the glacial lakes. This overview study presents a classification of the glacial lakes based on tectonic-geological and geomorphological dynamics. Selected representative lakes are described using results from fieldwork and satellite image analysis, including bathymetry, paleoshorelines, and recent lake-level fluctuations between 1987 and 2020. Generally, lake levels dropped from the early Holocene until recently, with the onset of the climate change-driven glacier recession that has resulted in lake-level rises and area expansion in almost all moraine-dammed, tongue-basin, and ice-contact lakes. In contrast, endorheic lakes have mainly been shrinking for the past forty years because of an increase in air temperature and evaporation rates and the effects of an intensifying water use within the catchment for irrigation, mining, and hydroelectric energy production in the form of dams. The creation of a lake monitoring system based on an in-depth inventory is recommended.

“…Sevastyanov and Dorofeyuk (2005) published a review of Mongolian lakes basing on the results of a joint Russian-Mongolian expedition. The study of modern and ancient lakes in Mongolia provided an opportunity to assess natural resources associated with the lake and to identify trends in environmental change [21].…”

There is the need to divide Mongolia's lake research into trends of development stages and to provide a detailed analysis of modern lake research. The aim of this study is to identify the development stages of lake research in Mongolia and to analyse lake research development. This study provides a comparative analysis of the development trends of lake research carried out in the country. The historical development of lake research in Mongolia was divided into 4 stages in chronological order, highlighting the current research direction, scope, and contribution to geography. Since 1990, researchers from many countries have been able to conduct extensive research in Mongolia, and especially since the 2000s, lake research intensified owing to global warming and environmental change. Studies, in particular, focus on paleogeography, paleoclimate changes, lake water regimes and water level fluctuation. Mongolian lake-based studies have tended to identify environmental evolution from the Pleistocene to the Holocene. The investigated areas were primarily Khuvsgul Lake and Darkhad Basin, Lakes Valley and Gobi Lakes, the Great Lake Depression, Mongolian Altai and Khangai Mountain lakes. Since 1990, scientists from Russia, Mongolia, Germany, China, Japan, USA and South Korea have been increasingly focusing on research into lakes in Mongolia. Paleogeographic and paleoclimatic reconstruction, based on the lakes of Central Asia, is being conducted in an innovative manner. Dividing Mongolia's lake research into development stages and identifying research trends will help determine which areas of research can be developed in the future.

“…A lake depression is a form of land surface that contains water under the influence of endogenic and exogenic factors [2][3][4]. The study of the origin and morphological classification of the lake depression started more than 130 years ago [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

An improved classification of the origin of lake depressions due to geological, geomorphological factors and climate change is a requirement of the day in Mongolia. We present a new holistic classification using comparative analysis method. This study suggests a two-tier classification in terms of origin and morphological feature of the lakes, which replaces the previous one-tier classification. Mongolia has identified 11 main and 26 subtypes of origin, and 8 main types of morphology, based on the features of 32 lake depressions. The result of the study shows that the lakes of Mongolia developed in 3 stages, first, affected by tectonic movement, followed by glacial and finally, owing to other exogenic factors. This morphological classification study will create the basic conditions for preserving and using these lakes more efficiently and ecologically in the future by making the classification of the origin of lake depression.
