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 …

Contemporary understanding of the behaviour of surging glaciers and ice streams is
hampered by the lack of data on landsystem evolution and sedimentary environments. This …

Surges are common in all the major ice caps in Iceland, and historical reports of surge
occurrence go back several centuries. Data collection and regular observation over the last …

Iceland is one of the few places on Earth where a divergent plate boundary can be observed
on land. Direct observations of crustal deformation for the whole country are available for the …

The volume of glaciers in Iceland (∼ 3,400 km 3 in 2019) corresponds to about 9 mm of
potential global sea level rise. In this study, observations from 98.7% of glacier covered …

A linear model of orographic precipitation that includes airflow dynamics, condensed water
advection, and downslope evaporation is adapted for Iceland. The model is driven using …

Icelandic glaciers cover∼ 11 000 km2 in area and store∼ 3600 km3 of ice. Starting in 2008
during the International Polar Year, accurate digital elevation models (DEMs) of the glaciers …

Future climate warming is predicted to be more pronounced in the Arctic where
approximately two-thirds of all small glaciers on Earth are located. A simple mass-balance …

In total, Icelandic ice caps contain∼ 3600 km3 of ice, which if melted would raise sea level
by∼ 1 cm. Here, we present an overview of mass changes of Icelandic ice masses since the …

(Possible changes in glacier mass balance are among the most important consequences of
future climate change with both local and global implications, such as changes in the …
