The article examines the reaction of glacial systems in the Zhetysu Alatau region to climate
change. The main goal of this study is to explain the comprehensive impact of climate change on
glacial dynamics in the Zhetysu Alatau, to study changes in glacial scale, mass balance and
hydrological consequences. The main directions of scientific research include the study of glacial
systems in the Zhetysu Alatau, and emphasize the impact on climate change. The main results and
analysis of the study show the relationship between climate change and glacial systems in the
Zhetysu Alatau region. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the interrelated
processes that determine the response of glaciers to climate change. . The scientific and practical
significance of the work lies in its potential to improve the quality of geography education at the 8th
grade level. The main results and analysis of the study show the relationship between climate
change and glacial systems in the Zhetysu Alatau region. In addition, attention will be paid to the
current state of glacial systems in the Zhetysu Alatau region, which will reveal patterns of loss of
ice mass and changes in hydrological regimes. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of
the interrelated processes that determine the response of glaciers to climate change. The value of the
research lies in its contribution to the broader field of geographical education. The practical
significance of the results obtained lies in their application to educational practice. Glacial systems
play a crucial role in local hydrology, affecting water resources and ecosystems. Therefore, a
thorough understanding of their response to climate change is crucial for sustainable environmental
management and resource planning in the region. The study revealed strong evidence of significant
changes in glacial systems, including changes in the length, thickness and overall morphology of
glaciers. These fluctuations are closely related to changes in temperature and precipitation. The
article examines the impact of these changes on the lower water resources and local ecosystems.
