Georgia’s rich heritage has been hugely influenced by both Byzantine and Persian cultures. With Russia (and Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkar, North Osetia-Alania) to the north, Turkey to the west, Armenia and Iran to the south and Azerbaijan to the east, Georgia remains a fiercely independent nation after years of oppression by the Russian Tsars and the Soviet Union. Georgia’s mix of natural beauty and medieval history has made this small country one of Eastern Europe’s most fascinating destinations.

    1 Glaciers change over the last century, Caucasus Mountains, 2 Georgia, observed by the old topographical maps, Landsat 3 and ASTER satellite imagery 4 5 L. G. Tielidze 6 7 Department of Geomorphology, Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute of Geography, Ivane 8 Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, 6 Tamarashvili st. Tbilisi 0177, Georgia 9 10 Correspondence to: L. G. Tielidze ([email protected]) 11 12 13 Abstract 14 15 The study of glaciers in the Caucasus began in the first quarter of the 18th century. The 16 first data on glaciers can be found in the works of great Georgian scientist Vakhushti 17 Bagrationi. After almost hundred years the foreign scientists began to describe the 18 glaciers of Georgia. Information about the glaciers of Georgia can be found in the 19 works of W. Abich, D. Freshfield, G. Radde, N. Dinik, I. Rashevskiy, A. Reinhardt etc. The 20 first statistical information about the glaciers of Georgia are found in the catalog of the 21 Caucasus glaciers compiled by K. Podozerskiy in 1911. Then, in 1960s the large-scale 22 (1 : 25 000, 1 : 50 000) topographic maps were published, which were compiled in 23 1955–1960 on the basis of the airphotos. On the basis of the mentioned maps R. 24 Gobejishvili gave quite detailed statistical information about the glaciers of Georgia. Then 25 in 1975 the results of glaciers inventory of the former USSR was published, where the 26 statistical information about the glaciers of Georgia was obtained on the basis of the 27 almost same time (1955-1957) aerial images.

  • Genesis and Sedimentation of the Travertines in Georgia
    saqarTvelos mecnierebaTa erovnuli akademiis moambe, t. 14, #1, 2020 BULLETIN OF THE GEORGIAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, vol. 14, no. 1, 2020 Paleogeography Genesis and Sedimentation of the Travertines in Georgia Revaz Khazaradze* and Koba Kharadze* Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute of Geography, Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia (Presented by Academy Member Revaz Gachechiladze) On the basis of the studies carried out we determined the areas of the genesis and distribution of travertines on the territory of Georgia. As it became clear the distribution of travertines in the Caucasus Mountains is mainly linked to the distribution line of Mesozoic sediments, where two types of travertines can be distinguished: an active travertine (it has a source and sedimentation is still lasting) and an inactive travertine (the source has dried up and sedimentation does not take place). In the active travertines there are numerous prints of plant leaves and stems that enables to determine the approximate age of their genesis; it became known that it may belong to Holocene or a period close to the modern age. As to the inactive travertines, they are poor in vegetation prints. They have been eroded and therefore, it becomes difficult to determine their age. © 2020 Bull. Georg. Natl. Acad. Sci. Travertines, active travertine, inactive travertine, genesis Water saturated with the carbonate material following the glaciation (Holocene). Seemingly, deposits it onto layer surfaces in the forms of the above researchers share the idea that mineral limestone, tufa and travertine.

  • This Learning Toolkit Was Developed in the Framework of the UNDP-GEF
    1 This learning toolkit was developed in the framework of the UNDP-GEF project “Advancing Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) across the Kura river basin through implementation of the transboundary agreed actions and national plans”. It aims to provide a better understanding of the current state of water resources in the Kura river basin. It examines links between human activities and environmental degradation in the basin, as well as potential impacts of such global threats as climate change and disasters on water resources of the Kura river basin. The publication also includes interesting facts about water resources, related ecosystems and provides additional information about some environmental concepts. The toolkit is applicable as an additional source of information for the schoolteachers, students and everyone else who uses water.
