Abstract
Glacial areas are interesting to identify trends in glaciations dynamic in view of global warming. Global warming is reviling not only in reducing the circumpolar ice shields of the planet, but in a condition of mountain glaciers. Small glaciers of south of Eastern Siberia are sensitive to such changes and they can serve as indicators of the rate of climate change. East Siberia’s mountain glaciers significantly reduced in thickness for the last decades, and their degradation is slowed in the last 5-10 years. The GIS project and the database of nival-glacial formations for the quantitative analysis of the accumulated information have been created. The mountain region of the Baikal territory is an area with a large recreational and informative potential, which is not enough, covered. The feature of the most remote areas of the region is the presence of modern glaciations. The study of the processes of preserving clean fresh water in modern conditions is one of the most important scientific tasks of modern society. Glaciers are the most accurate indicators of ongoing climate change and store a huge array of information about the climate of the past.
