Abstract
Due to global warming, the glaciers and ice systems of Antarctica and the Antarctic peninsula have undergone significant changes in shape and size in recent decades. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly monitor and analyze changes in the basic parameters of glaciers and ice systems to control, predict and prevent such processes. This study presents preliminary results of the analysis of changes in the marine-terminating part of Trooz Glacier (West Antarctica) during 2001–2020. The study used freely available satellite images from different times (Mapper Plus Landsat-7 and Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager). As a result of analysis, filtering and processing of the original data obtained in part of Trooz Glacier in different periods of research. It has been established that the marine-terminating part of Trooz Glacier is exposed to systematic landslide processes that have a north-westerly direction.
