One of the discussion issues of karstological studies is the identification of karst denudation intensity; it means the quantitative evaluation of the intensity of this process, which, in turn, allows to predict the karst development. The problem of karst denudation is developed insufficiently today, which can be explained by the complexity of the issue and at the same time, the methods used to assess the intensity of denudation are not yet refined. The intensity of denudation and its general regularities in the Z...

Georgia is a classical karst country, where a variety of surface and underground karst forms are represented. The main aim of this work is to present karst and pseudokarst features in Georgia, which occupy 17.9% or 12,454 km2 of the entire territory of Georgia. All layers of the Upper Jurassic, as well as the Cretaceous and Lower Paleogene systems are being karstified in Georgia About 10.2% (7120 km2) of the country is occupied by karst (carbonate rocks). Limestones are represented by Upper Jurassic, Cretaceous an...
