Setting Coordinate Reference System(CRS)

Before importing the required shapefile into QGIS, you must set a project coordinate system for your project file. Due to the study area being near the Caspian Sea we can use the "Pulkovo 1942/ Caspian Sea Mercator" projection to ensure accuracy in our analysis.

To change the projection in QGIS: press ctrl+ shift + p and select CRS. In the search bar type "Pulkovo 1942/ Caspian Sea Mercator" and select apply at the bottom of the screen.
