The center will implement multi-year research programs, international projects, student and doctoral initiatives, as well as high-level scientific events.<\/p>\n<p>The main areas of activity of the center:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Modern glaciological research;<\/li>\n<li>Remote sensing;<\/li>\n<li>Field expeditions;<\/li>\n<li>Geomorphological analysis;<\/li>\n<li>Glacial and climatic modeling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Today, when climate change significantly accelerates the degradation of glaciers and increases the risk of natural hazards, the creation of such a center is a crucial step towards the sustainable development of both science and the country. The center will contribute to the deepening of international scientific cooperation, the development of young researchers and the integration of Georgia into the global glaciological research space.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation will be led by Levan Tielidze, Associate Professor in Glaciology at Ilia State University.
