The Myrdalsjokull Ice Cap, Iceland : Glacial Processes, Sediments and Landforms on an Active Volcano Volume 13 Hardback
Part of the Developments in Quaternary Science series
Hardback
Description
Lowland glaciers are usually considered the best analogs for formerly glaciated areas and as such, many Icelandic glaciers have been intensively investigated with regard to process-orientated sediment-landform interrelationships.
The Mýrdalsjökull ice cap has, thus, served as an excellent "ice-age laboratory." Furthermore, a substantial effort has been directed toward understanding the interaction between volcanic activity and glacier response, such as meltwater outbursts (jökulhlaups) and sudden events of rapidly flowing glacier ice.
The book reviews the following themes related to Mýrdalsjökull: glaciology, glacial and quaternary geology, sedimentology, tephrochronology and eruption history of Katla, and crustal movements.
All authors are involved in research about the subglacial Katla volcano and Mýrdalsjökull.
