ABSTRACT In mountain regions, the distribution of surface air temperature happens to show
marked horizontal gradients and nonlinear variations with topographic height. These pose a …

The fragmentary glacial-geological record across the Icelandic continental shelf has
hampered reconstruction of the volume, extent and chronology of the Late Weichselian ice …

Iceland's periglacial realm is one of the most dynamic on the planet, with active
geomorphological processes and high weathering rates of young bedrock resulting in high …

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Rising temperatures,
changing precipitation and more weather extremes pose risks to local societies worldwide …

Iceland border the Arctic with cold maritime climate and a large proportion of the land placed
at highland plateaus. About 1100 years of human disturbance, such as grazing and wood …

We present an overview of glacier variations of the outlet glaciers of southeast atnajökull ice
cap, celand, during the time period∼ 1650–1900 as represented in historical archives, by …

During the melt season, absorbed solar energy, modulated at the surface predominantly by
albedo, is one of the main governing factors controlling surface-melt variability for glaciers in …

Plant ecosystem engineers are widely used to combat land degradation. However, the
ability of those plants to modulate limiting abiotic and biotic resources of other species can …

A high spatial resolution data set of gridded daily surface air temperature in Iceland has
been derived for the period 1949–2010. Between 60–80% of the daily estimates are within …

Lava flows pose a hazard in volcanic environments and reset ecosystem development. A
succession of dated lava flows provides the possibility to estimate the direction and rates of …
