Review

This manuscript, titled "PRELIMINARY MAPPING OF GLACIERS AND GLACIAL LANDFORMS OF MOUNT AĞRI DAĞI (ARARAT), EASTERN ANATOLIA - TURKEY," indicates a geographical and geomorphological study focused on a region of significant scientific interest. The topic of glacier and glacial landform mapping is fundamentally important for understanding past and present climate dynamics, regional geomorphology, and hydrological processes in mountainous environments. Mount Ağrı Dağı (Ararat) is a prominent feature in Eastern Anatolia, and detailed mapping efforts, even preliminary ones, can serve as a foundational dataset for subsequent, more in-depth research into its glacial history, contemporary ice cover changes, and implications for environmental change in the broader region. The "Preliminary" designation in the title suggests an initial investigation, which can be valuable in establishing baseline conditions or identifying areas for future detailed study. Such mapping endeavors are critical for inventorying cryospheric resources, assessing glacier recession, and understanding the geomorphological impact of past glaciations. A well-executed preliminary mapping project, if it outlines clear methodologies and initial findings, can set the stage for more comprehensive analyses, including the use of advanced remote sensing techniques, field validation, and glaciological modeling. The specific location makes this study relevant not only for regional geosciences but also potentially for broader discussions on climate change impacts in high-altitude Anatolian environments. However, a comprehensive and meaningful review of this submission is severely hindered by the complete absence of an abstract. The abstract is a cornerstone of scientific communication, providing a concise summary of the paper's objectives, methodology, key results, and conclusions. Without this essential component, it is impossible to assess the scientific rigor, originality, significance of the findings, or the quality of the research presented. Therefore, before any evaluation of the paper's merits can commence, the authors must provide a detailed abstract that clearly outlines the scope, methods employed (e.g., remote sensing data, field surveys), the specific glacial features identified, and any initial insights gained from this preliminary mapping effort.
