Creation of electronic atlas of glaciers of Georgia Summary

Abstract

The final works to create a bilingual (Georgian-English) "Electronic Atlas of Glaciers of Georgia", are underway with the financial support of the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia [FR-21-1996]. This electronic atlas will include both the old former Soviet Union catalogue corrected data and the latest determined information for three dates (2010, 2015, 2020). Electronic Atlas of Glaciers of Georgia represents a combination of functional capabilities of geoinformation systems: storage of multi-layered information about glaciers, free navigation capabilities for obtaining information, an easy-to-follow process for adding data, adjusting existing information, overlaying information, and more.
