The article presents the results of a study of geological processes occurring in the territory of Southern Kazakhstan. The analysis of the spatial and temporal dynamics of water and wind erosion, mudflow formation, landslides and slope deformation is carried out. Based on stratigraphic, paleotectonic and lithological data, the characteristic of the geodynamic development of the region is presented. The accumulation of thick sedimentary rock strata in intermountain depressions and the transformation of tectonic relief, the activation of exogenous processes in the context of modern climatic changes are noted. The work highlights the importance of the geological approach for forecasting modern geological risks and sustainable development of natural resources. The results can be applied in the design and operation of engineering structures in seismically active and erosion-hazardous areas of Southern Kazakhstan.
