(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2017-01-25)We assess ice loss and velocity changes between 1985 and 2014 of three tidewater and fiveland terminating glaciers in Godthabsfjord (Nuup Kangerlua), Greenland. Glacier thinning accounted for 43.8 +/- 0.2 km(3) of ice loss, equivalent to 0.10 mm eustatic ... -
(Informa UK Limited, 2017-05-24)SOC has received increased attention over the last decades because of its role as an option to mitigate the effects of increased anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. In Iceland, the loss of vegetation and soil due to land-use and natural processes ...

(Copernicus GmbH, 2018-07-06)Glacio-hydrological models (GHMs) allow us to develop an understanding of how future climate change will affect river flow regimes in glaciated watersheds. A variety of simplified GHM structures and parameterisations exist, yet the performance of these ...

(Copernicus GmbH, 2017-03-23)Deposition of small amounts of airborne dust on glaciers causes positive radiative forcing and enhanced melting due to the reduction of surface albedo. To study the effects of dust deposition on the mass balance of Brúarjökull, an outlet glacier of the ...

(MDPI AG, 2018-11-15)Several simulations of the surface climate and energy balance of Vatnajökull ice cap, Iceland, are used to estimate the glacier runoff for the period 1980–2015 and the sensitivity of runoff to the spring conditions (e.g., snow thickness). The simulations ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019)This dissertation describes the research results from applying regional climate models (RCMs) to simulate the near-past and future evolution of Vatnajökull, the largest ice cap in Iceland, and investigate the sensitivity of ablation to albedo and spring ...

(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2018-03-19)Forecasting of glacier mass balance is important for optimal management of hydrological resources, especially where glacial meltwater constitutes a significant portion of stream flow, as is the case for many rivers in Iceland. In this study, a method ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2017-12-18)Thermal anomalies are observed at many volcanoes, resulting from geothermal and magmatic activity, and are usually difficult to quantify since the measurement of heat fluxes from the ground to the atmosphere is subject to large uncertainties. However, ...
