This book gives the most detailed and comprehensive insights into
the morphology, morphometry and dynamics of glaciers in the
Georgian Caucasus region up to date. It examines the variability of
valley glaciers after the Little Ice Age maximum and identifies
glacial dynamics during historical periods. The reconstruction of
glaciation in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene was conducted based
on long lasting detailed glacial-geomorphological observations by
the author. It further analyses moraine structures, river terraces,
geodynamics of the relief, and snow and firn line locations derived
from field surveys in most glacier basins in the southern and
northern slopes of the Georgian Caucasus. A whole set of
methodological approaches was applied including remote sensing and
GIS, glacio-geomorphological, cartographical, aerial image
processing and petrographic methods, unveiling accurate information
about glaciers difficult to access, e.g. in the Abkhazeti and
Tskhinvali regions. The book provides a full database of Georgia's
modern glaciation and displays a set of compiled maps of the
distribution of the Late Pleistocene glaciation of the Georgian
Caucasus.
