Micromorphological evidence for the role of pressurised water in the formation of large-scale thrust-block moraines in Melasveit, western Iceland

Sigfúsdóttir, Thorbjörg; Phillips, Emrys; Benediktsson, Ívar Örn (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019-09-10)

Pressurised meltwater has a major impact on ice dynamics, as well as on sedimentary and deformational processes occurring below/in front of glaciers and ice sheets, but its role in glaciotectonic processes is yet to be fully understood. This study ...
Past dynamics of a marine-terminating glacier in lower Borgarfjörður, west Iceland – Analyses of glaciotectonic sediments and landforms

Sigfúsdóttir, Thorbjörg (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 ...
