Georg., Eng.The aim of the work is a detailed study of the impact of current climate change on the glaciers of Western Georgia. The degradation of glaciers in Western Georgia is evident in changes in the characteristics of glacial basins, which is an effective indicator of regional climate change. The work presents the results of a complex study of the degradation of 409 glaciers of Western Georgia recorded in the catalogue of the former Soviet Union. Taking into account the classification of glaciers, the distribution of the areas and number of glaciers in Western Georgia has been studied.
