Project Name :
The Study of the Glaciers of the Tergi River Basin on the Background of Modern Climate Change, Paleo-Glaciological and Paleo-Geomorphological Reconstructions of Late Pleistocene and Holocene
Donor Organization :
Shota Rustaveli National Scientific Foundation
Budget:
12 000
Grant number :
PG/20/9-102/12
Research Direction :
9 Earth Sciences and Environment
Sub Direction :
9-102 Glaciology
Keyword(s) :
Glacier, Climate Change
Description :
Digital model of the Tergi River Basin will be created in the Geo-Information Systems. It is supposed both, to create its relief’s models of different scales and GPS-survey of the most important geographical, geomorphological and glaciological object or phenomena with their affixation on the digital model. Also, with the help of the obtained model of the relief the retreating scales of the glaciers and the distribution areal of the old moraines will be identified since Late Pleistocene until the present. Scales of the latest stage glaciations will be reconstructed, the moraines of the same age will be surveyed and their distribution areal will be affixed on the digital model. Respectively, the glacier’s retreating index of the length and area will be specified from this period. Within the Project the of current and available aero-space and aerial photo images of the period from 1950s to present days will be decoded and thus the glaciations dynamics of the last 70 years will be specified in more details.
