Abstract
Rapid changes in landforms and hydrology now take place at the margins
of glaciers in Iceland due to their fast retreat in response to warming climate. We describe examples from the margins of Breiðamerkurjökull and Hoffellsjökull from the years 2010–2019 with significant impact on the runoff of meltwater, the location of river courses, the formation of glacial lakes and jökulhlaups.
期刊介绍:
Jökull publishes research papers, notes and review articles concerning all aspects of the Earth Sciences. The
journal is primarily aimed at being an international forum
for geoscience research in Iceland. Specific areas of coverage include glaciology, glacial geology, physical geography,
general geology, petrology, volcanology, geothermal research, geophysics, meteorology, hydrology and oceanography. Jökull also publishes research notes and reports from
glacier expeditions, book reviews, and material of interest to
the members of the Icelandic Glaciological and Geological
Societies
