He is also a researcher at the Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute of Geography. His main area of research is the glacial-geomorphological studies of mountain glaciers and their mapping using geo-information systems (GIS). He is investigating the dynamics of glaciers under the impact of climate change using remote sensing techniques and is specialized in the Little Ice Age (LIA) glaciation and the reconstruction of the glaciation in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene.In 2014/2015 he conducted a research stay at the Climate Change Institute of the University of Maine, USA, and in 2015/2016 at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. He is the author of about 40 scientific papers and 6 monographs.The author's several-year theoretical and field-desk research on modern and old glaciations of the Georgian Caucasus led to the results published in this book. As a result of these surveys the latest materials on the modern glaciers morphology, morphometry and dynamics were obtained. The reconstruction of glaciation in Late Pleistocene and Holocene has been conducted based on detailed glacial-geomorphological observations.
