Some 11% of Iceland is covered by glaciers. They contain 3,600 km 3 of water, equivalent to
a 35-m-thick ice layer spread evenly over the whole country; if melted, it would raise global …

The spatial resolution gap between global or regional climate models and the requirements
for local impact studies motivates the need for climate downscaling. For impact studies that …

Area and volume changes and the average geodetic mass balance of the non-surging outlet
glaciers of southeast Vatnajökull ice cap, Iceland, during different time periods between …

The Little Ice Age maximum extent of glaciers in Iceland was reached about 1890 AD and
most glaciers in the country have retreated during the 20th century. A model for the surface …

Climate change is a threat to many high-latitude regions. Changing patterns in precipitation
intensity and increasing glacial ablation during spring and summer have major influence on …

The flow regimes of glacier-fed rivers are sensitive to climate change due to strong climate–
cryosphere–hydrosphere interactions. Previous modelling studies have projected changes …

The surface of the Snæfellsjökull ice cap in western Iceland was mapped with airborne
LiDAR in 2008. A comparison with a DTM from 1999 derived by aerial photogrammetry …

We apply a linear model of orographic precipitation (LT model) to estimate snow
accumulation on the western Svartisen ice cap (220 km2) in northern Norway. This model …

Virkisjökull is a rapidly retreating outlet glacier draining the western flanks of Öræfajökull in
SE Iceland. Since 2011 there have been continuous measurements of flow in the proglacial …

Assessing and modeling precipitation in mountainous areas remains a major challenge in
glacier mass balance modeling. Observations are typically scarce and reanalysis data and …
