This book presents the first integrated account of Georgia's geological heritage at the scale of the whole country. Situated in the heart of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone, Georgia compresses high peaks, active volcanoes, karst plateaus, deep river gorges, semi-deserts and Black Sea coasts into a remarkably small territory. Geoheritage of Georgia - The Caucasus shows how that collision-born complexity underpins exceptional geosites and landscapes, from the tower villages of Svaneti and the rock-cut city of Vardzia to dinosaur trackways, cave systems, natural freezers, placer goldfields and volcanic plateaus, while also shaping biodiversity, agriculture, sacred waters and cultural identity.
