Annotation. In recent years, due to global climate change, there have been certain changes in the temperature indicators of the soil surface cover. These changes were especially evident in the highlands. The main reason for this is the increase of the land area due to the shrinking of the areas with the melting of the glaciers, which has led to an increase in the temperature on the earth’s surface. The increase in temperature on the soil surface has increased the degradation of summer pastures. In the presented article, the results of the study of surface temperature in the natural landscapes located in the southeast of the high mountain part of the Greater Caucasus were analyzed. At that time, modern methods and methods were used. Satellite images of the research area taken from the Landsat 9 satellite and related to June 2024 were analyzed in the ArcGIS program. Bands 4, 5 and 10 were used in the study. Bands 4 and 5 were used in the vegetation study, and band 10 was used in other analyses. It was determined that the area’s vegetation has an important role in changing the surface temperature.

Keywords: GIS, climate, temperature, high altitu-de, surface temperature, NDVI, Landsat 9.
