Glacial geomorphology and dynamics of palaeo-ice streams in northeast Iceland

Aradóttir, Nína (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2024-04)

This thesis describes the evidence of palaeo-ice streams in northeast Iceland. Ice streams within the Iceland Ice Sheet (IIS) had been previously proposed, but limited studies existed on their geomorphology. The aim of this study was to advance the ...
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 ...
