Glacier variations 1930–1970, 1970–1995, 1995–2017 and 2017–2018
The Icelandic Glaciological Society received reports on 46 measurements sites of glacier front variations in the autumn of 2018. Glacier retreat was observed at 33 survey sites whereas advances where reported from 5 sites, and 4 showed no signs of change. Snow covered glacier margins, bad weather or floating icebergs in the proglacial lakes prevented measurement
at a few sites. One new site was added to the network, the western part of Þórisjökull.
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
