Abstract

The results of field surveys of the Institute of geography and water safety, LLP “CARGC” and LLP “KazGeoplus” on the Morenny rock glacier in 2021 are presented. Data of GPR-sounding and electrical resistivity tomography have made it possible to distinguish zones of frozen rock-ice deposits and melt watered layers. Results of conducted surveys have confirmed early assumptions about great amount of water accumulated in the rock glaciers.
