Catastrophic Debris Flows in Kazbegi Mountain Area, Georgia – Use of Available Free Internet Information as a Source to Generate Conceptual Engineering Geological Model

Original language description

This paper presents how much valuable data is freely available from the Internet to be efficiently used together with the interpretation of internet maps and 3D visualizations to analyse geological hazard of some areas in the sense of conceptual engineering geological model generation. The example presented here is of the Kazbegi Mountain area in Georgia near the border with Russia. The area in question is famous for abundant debris flows with some of them being very catastrophic and associated with melting glaciers. There were two tragic events in the recent past in the Dariali Gorge east of the Mkinvartsveri (Kazbegi) peak in 2014. Using the internet information together with geological experience it can be easily anticipated what may happen in the future within the area due to slope movement hazards. Dangerous areas possibly to be affected by debris flow (mud flow) in the future may be defined and thus cost-effectively provide the first step to avoid constructions in these areas to eliminate the loss of human lives and destruction of property.
