(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2017)Molybdenum isotopes are used to quantify changes in Earth’s paleoredox conditions but their application relies upon a simplified model in which rivers dominate the ocean input with minor contributions from hydrothermal fluids. The effect of groundwater ... -
(MDPI AG, 2018-01-20)A new lava field was formed at Holuhraun in the Icelandic Highlands, north of Vatnajökull glacier, in 2014–2015. It was the largest effusive eruption in Iceland for 230 years, with an estimated lava bulk volume of ~1.44 km3 covering an area of ~84 km2. ...

(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019-09-30)The Martian mid-latitudes contain numerous small water-ice deposits, collectively termed viscous flow features (VFFs). The shape and topography of the deposits contain information on their past flow history and formation process. In order to access ...

(Tethys, Journal of Weather and Climate of the Western Mediterranean, 2019)This paper focuses on the relationship between the 500 hPa height fluctuations and the associative atmosphere thickness (AT) over Iran and the Middle East between 1961 and 2013. For this purpose, atmospheric Geopotential Height (HGT) data of the 1000 ...

(Copernicus GmbH, 2019-01-08)Strong similarities in Holocene climate reconstructions derived from multiple proxies (BSi, TOC – total organic carbon, δ13C, C∕N, MS – magnetic susceptibility, δ15N) preserved in sediments from both glacial and non-glacial lakes across Iceland indicate ...
-
(University of Turku; University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2020-11-13)Tephrochronology is a high-precision dating method that uses volcanic ash horizons as isochrons in correlating and dating geological records and archaeological sites. First developed in the volcanic regions of the world, tephrochronology has expanded ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-11)Large and complete sections through glacial landforms formed in subaqueous environments are rare, impeding our knowledge of their internal composition and the processes responsible for their formation. Following the last deglaciation of the Icelandic ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01)Sediment cores from Kløverbladvatna, a threshold lake in Wahlenbergfjorden, Nordaustlandet, Svalbard were used to reconstruct Holocene glacier fluctuations. Meltwater from Etonbreen spills over a threshold to the lake, only when the glacier is significantly ...
-
(Elsevier BV, 2017-08)Relative sea-level (RSL) data provide constraints on land uplift associated with former ice loading and can be used to differentiate between contrasting ice unloading scenarios. Isolation basin, coastal lowland and geomorphological evidence is employed ...

Protect Me from What I Want: Understanding Excessive Polluting Behavior and the Willingness to Act (MDPI AG, 2020-07-21)Many environmental problems stem from unsustainable human consumption. Accordingly, many studies have focused on the barriers to pro-environmental behavior. The inability or unwillingness to act is partially related to personal values as well as the ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-04)Iceland’s position at the confluence of major oceanic and atmospheric fronts results in a highly sensitive climate evident in both instrumental and paleo records. However, open questions still remain regarding the pre-instrumental evolution of climate, ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-12-13)An extensive geophysical survey comprising over 400 MT and 515 gravity stations on the Korosi, Paka and Silali volcanoes in the northern Kenya rift was conducted in order to assess the occurrence of geothermal resources in the context of the geophysics ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2017-01)Volcanic rootless cones are the products of thermohydraulic explosions involving rapid heat transfer from active lava (fuel) to external sources of water (coolant). Rootless eruptions are attributed to molten fuel–coolant interactions (MFCIs), but ...
-
(Elsevier BV, 2020-03)The Saksunarvatn Ash, first found in the Faroe Islands, is a tephra produced by the Grímsvötn volcanic system in Iceland. Since its discovery in the Faroe Islands, dark tephra with a similar stratigraphic position has been described at numerous locations ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-09-23)The 2014–2015 Bárðarbunga-Veiðivötn fissure eruption at Holuhraun produced about 1.5 km3 of lava, making it the largest eruption in Iceland in more than 200 years. Over the course of the eruption, daily volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions exceeded ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05)We present new high-precision major and trace element data on olivine macrocrysts from various volcano-tectonic settings in Iceland and use these data as a proxy for mantle mode and melting conditions. Within individual sampling sites examined (seven ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2016-06-03)Particulate matter mass concentrations and size fractions of PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, and PM15 measured in transversal horizontal profile of two dust storms in southwestern Iceland are presented. Images from a camera network were used to estimate the ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2022-02-25)Volatile species (e.g., H2O, He, B, CO2, S, Cl) and their isotopes in volcanic materials provide a unique, but underexplored archive of information about magmatic processes and planetary evolution. This study aims to improve our understanding regarding ...
-
(Bergur Einarsson, 2018-05-23)Continuous GPS measurements on three broad and gently sloping temperate ice-cap outlets in southern and western Vatnajökull, southeast Iceland, and in northern Hofsjökull, central Iceland, are the subject of this thesis. The measurements show events ...
