    About this ebook

    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.

      Volcano Under Glacier Offers Clues To Thicker Antarctic Ice

      Sep 17, 2018

      Researchers have found a new clue that may explain strange behavior in the ice in one area of Antarctica. A volcano under the ice sheet has left an almost 6,000-year record of the glacier’s motion, a new study reports. A region of West Antarctica is
