Environmental Aspects of Natural and Climatic Changes in the Elbrus Region (Kabardino-Balkar Republic)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ecological problems, exogenous processes and phenomena in conditions of climate warming in the Elbrus region (the North Caucasus, Kabardino-Balkar Republic) are reviewed in this article. Increase of average-annual values of temperature and amount of precipitation within the period of 1961-2017 and sub-period of intensive warming of 1976-2017, acceleration of dynamics of glaciers recession in Elbrus, activation of exogenous processes in the Elbrus region are established on the basis of the meteorological data analysis (temperature and precipitation) and monitoring of glaciers degradation.
