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.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Geomorphology of glaciers; Little ice age (LIA) glaciation in Georgia; Pleistocene and Holocene glacia | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50571-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-84431-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-50571-8Series ISSN 2366-8865 Series E-ISSN 2366-8873 | | issn_series | 2366-8865 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
