Geodetic surveys of BAB "St. Kliment Ohridski" on Livingston Island and their contribution to the study of modern geophysical processes

Borislav Alexandrov, Lyubka Pashova

Abstract:
The report briefly presents modern geodetic surveys of Livingston Island, conducted after 1998 at the Bulgarian Antarctic Base “St. Kliment Ohridski”. Activities for mapping the topography of the island and the seabed are summarized. The main results of the processing and analysis of the data collected from measurements performed during the 28th National Antarctic Expedition, season 2019-2020 are considered. In the context of global changes and the growing anthropic pressure on the environment, geodetic observations and research contribute to clarifying the mechanisms of interaction of complex processes in the BAB region.
