Abstract

Potential of applying the results of geomorphological and geoarchaeological studies for tourism industry is demonstrated by the example of the Chuya valley between Chuya and Kurai depressions. © 2018 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Presented multidisciplinary investigations show the contrasting environmental changes and unique historical heritage of the region, preserved in landforms, sedimentation records and artifacts. Available material can reliably contribute to the development of local tourism industry. Study was partly funded by RFBR (grants 16-05-01035 and 18-05-00998)
