Project title: GIS Modelling and assessment of soil erosion (case of shida Kartli)

Funding organization: Shota Rustaveli National Science Fundation

Start and end dates: 2015

Principal investigator: Mariam Tsitsagi

Key personnel: Mariam Tsitsagi

Project Summary: The project provided for the reimbursement of expenses incurred within the framework of doctoral research, which meant field research and funding for higher education abroad.

Achieved results: The work carried out within the project was one of the first attempts at digital modeling of soil erosion. Research carried out within the framework of the project at the National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory in the USA was the main aspect of the successful implementation of the project. As part of the internship, meetings were held with world-renowned researchers who work directly on soil erosion formulas.
