    Á fyrsta ári þessarar aldar skrifaði þáverandi formaður Íslenskrar málnefndar, Kristján Árnason prófessor, grein í Málfregnir þar sem hann skilgreindi ágætlega tvenns konar vanda sem hann taldi íslenskt mál myndi standa frammi fyrir á nýbyrjaðri öld; ...
  • Hjörleifsson, Jens G; Ásgeirsson, Bjarni (Wiley, 2018-12-21)
    Most enzymes are homodimers or higher order multimers. Cold‐active alkaline phosphatase from Vibrio splendidus (VAP) transitions into a dimer with very low activity under mild denaturation conditions. The desire to understand why this dimer fails to ...

    To date, most mass balance studies in Iceland have concentrated on the three largest ice caps. This study turns the focus toward smaller Icelandic glaciers, presenting geodetic mass-balance estimates for 14 of them (total area 1,005 km2 in 2017) from ...

    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 ...
  • Hjörleifsson, Jens G; Ásgeirsson, Bjarni (Elsevier BV, 2016-07)
    Alkaline phosphatase is a homodimeric metallo-hydrolase where both Zn2+ and Mg2+ are important for catalysis and stability. Cold-adapted alkaline phosphatase variants have high activity at low temperatures and lower thermal stability compared with ...
