In 1963 I graduated from the Faculty of Geology of the Georgian Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology. 1985 I defended my PhD dissertation. I have been working in the Department of Marine Engineering Geology at the Institute of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology since 1965, and I have been the head of this department since 1990. 2008-2009 Our department has implemented a project funded by the National Fund of Georgia: "Modern engineering-geological conditions of the Black Sea coastal zone in relation to environmental protection (on the example of Poti and Batumi)", 2011. I worked on the GTU Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology institute internal project "Study of modern engineering-geological conditions of the Black Sea coastal zone in connection with the protection of the environment in the Anaklia district". I am leading the state budget project. I study the engineering-geological conditions of the Black Sea shelf zone of Georgia and the changes caused by natural and anthropogenic factors.

Comparing the current state of the coastline with the data obtained from our previous research works will allow us to determine the nature of the change in the engineering-geological conditions of the coastline. By combining early and modern profiles of beaches and underwater slopes, we can calculate the amount of beach-building material needed to be replenished to restore the old natural profile of the coastal zone. Further artificial feeding of the beaches contributes to the lithodynamic equilibrium of the coastal zone and provides the aesthetic side of the coastal zone of urbanized areas. As the restoration of the natural profile as a result of the laying of solid material in the shoreline by "Snaknapr defense" has shown, this is the most effective method for stabilizing the coastal zone. Such works should be carried out mainly in the coastal zone, in particular on the Makhinjauri-Kobuleti coast, where seawater leaching has been identified.

The coastal zone consists of a beach and an underwater slope. It is the part of land and water where the lithosphere and hydrosphere experience active interaction. The studied area is one of the most difficult regions from the village of Grigoleti to Supsa. Anthropogenic challenges have increased significantly due to the activation of the Asia-Europe transport corridor, the Supsa oil terminal and its loading facility at sea, which makes the study of the geotechnical conditions of the region more relevant. Under the guidance of Professor G. Buachidze, we conducted special studies funded by the firm "John Brown", which aimed to study the geotechnical conditions of the Supsa terminal and the oil refinery. This is a difficult and sensitive unit and in case of damage it can cause catastrophic damage to Poti-Kobuleti zone. The area from Supsa to Grigoleta is characterized by the intensive shifting of solid material. Data from special holes drilled in the Supsa-Grigoleti area made it possible to cross the boundary between relatively stable and very moving sands at the intersection of the pipeline. This boundary is approximately 7.0 m above the projected trench depth (4.0 m). To assess geotechnical conditions, it is important to identify the role of natural factors influencing the formation of conditions. One of the main factors is the rough drift of the river and the conditions of the sea wave. The analysis of the data showed that the sea waves in the region are mainly in the south-west (32%) and west (25%) directions. Sea waves have a great impact on the biodynamics of the seashore. We think that it is necessary to make some observations in order to obtain material for a short-term forecast of the development of engineering-geological conditions in this region.

Measures to strengthen the coastal zone of the Adjara Sea and its development forecast, Mining Journal, 2017/ No. 2(39)State Target Program

The article discusses different methods of protection of the coastal zone of Black Sea Adjara in Makhinjauri and Chakvi areas separated according to the development of lithodynamics and modern geological processes, on which coastal zone erosion is the most noticeable. The deficit of beach-forming material required to restore the old natural profile is calculated. It existed in the river. Before the break-up of the Chorokhi lithodynamic system, which was caused by the construction of the Batumi port (1978). Approximate calculations were made as a result of the combination of time profiles of the old, single lithodynamic system of Chorokhi and modern deformed and washed beaches. Measures to strengthen the coastal zone are proposed in connection with the protection of the geological environment.
