The Caucasus region located at the junction of the Eurasian and Arabian tectonic plates is a key area for understanding continental collision processes and their impact on seismic activity.The aim of this work is to analyze the region's tectonic processes, seismic history, and the risks associated with potential large earthquakes.The study employs modern methods including satellite imagery, GNSS data, drone-based modeling, and paleoseismic trenching.In April-May 2022, a team of scientists from t
