Based on Landsat satellite data for 1988 to 2019, the dominant trends of changes in the total area of water bodies (TAWB) in the areas of earlier (since 1984) and later (after 1988) development of the Yamburg oil-gas-condensate field (Tazovsky Peninsula) located in the tundra zone with a continuous spread of permafrost rocks were characterized. MNDWI (Modified Normalized Difference Water Index) was used to identify water bodies represented mainly by thermokarst lakes. The analysis was based on the parameter characterizing the ratio of TAWB in the areas of technogenic load to TAWB of the background (without technical facilities) area, which allows to significantly increase the sensitivity of the multitemporal analysis of TAWB changes associated with possible anthropogenic impact by reducing the influence of interannual differences in precipitation and climatic changes. On the site of a longer development and denser placement of technical facilities, significant trends have been identified, characterizing a reduction of the TAWB by 19,3 % (lake drainage), which may be associated with the activation of erosion processes, anthropogenic gully formation, changes in surface runoff conditions during construction of facilities, as well as the formation of a local microclimate. At the site of a later development and a lower density of objects, the TAWB reduction trend by 7.0 % is not significant and corresponds to the changes of the background area, characterizing the methodology error. Since the dynamics of thermokarst lakes is considered to be one of the indicators of geocryological conditions, the proposed methodology for analyzing changes in TAWB can be used to study changes in the state of permafrost, including those associated with the influence of anthropogenic factors.
