- Abstract
The Triglav glacier is situated in the Julian Alps in the northwest of Slovenia. Presented are the results of investigations and measurements of the Triglav glacier done between the years 1999 and 2012. During this period its depth was measured by means of georadar for the first time. Its area was measured on a yearly basis by means of various land surveying methods. The dynamics of the glacier shrinkage is explained by using the weather data of each respective year. Due to the glacier's concave form, accumulated winter snow did not melt until the late summer in the past few years, particularly in the central and lower sections of the glacier. If such weather conditions continue, and the amount of winter precipitation further increases, the remainder of the Triglav glacier, though small in size, will continue to exist for a few years.
