Héðinsdalsjökull, northern Iceland: geomorphology recording the recent complex evolution of a glacier

نویسندگان

چکیده

The objective of this work is to conduct a detailed mapping the Héðinsdalsjökull foreland, northern Iceland (65°39′N, 18°55′W). This cirque currently shows variety glacial and periglacial landforms derived from complex deglaciation. Mapping was performed combining traditional hand-drawn digital mapping. A sketch georeferenced in ArcMap 10.7.1, supported on an aerial photograph (year 2000). Its vectorization, symbolization final design were done computer-aided (CAD) software MicroStation Connect. Complementary high-resolution Digital Surface Models obtained historical photographs ground-view field through application Structure Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. To improve topographic expression geomorphological map, photorealistic 3D view has been generated. map highlights complexity foreland coexistence existence range different units landforms. will ease future studies transformation receding glaciers.

Recent, very rapid retreat of a temperate glacier in SE Iceland

Iceland’s glaciers are particularly sensitive to climate change, and their margins respond to trends in air temperature. Most Icelandic glaciers have been in retreat since c. 1990, and almost all since 1995. Using ice-front measurements, photographic and geomorphological evidence, we examined the record of ice-front fluctuations of Virkisjökull–Falljökull, a steep high-mass-turnover outlet glac...

A Large Rock Avalanche onto Morsárjökull Glacier, South-east Iceland. Its Implications for Ice-surface Evolution and Glacier Dynamics

In spring 2007, a large rock avalanche descended onto the Morsárjökull valley glacier in southeast Iceland, leaving one fifth of the glacier buried. The insulating effect of the deposit on the ice was quickly observed as a difference in the ablation between the exposed ice and that under the deposit. After three melt seasons, the ice surface under the deposit was 29 m above the surrounding glac...

Modelling the 20th and 21st century evolution of Hoffellsjökull glacier, SE-Vatnajökull, Iceland

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 mass balance and the flow of glaciers is used to reconstruct the 20th century retreat history of Hoffellsjökull, a south-flowing outlet glacier of the ice cap Vatnajökull, which is located close to the southeastern co...
