Vulnerability to jökulhlaup hazards: A case study of the Þjórsá floodplain, Southern Iceland
… particularly to the potential impacts of jökulhlaups. One area in southern Iceland, located around the Þjórsá River and bordered by the Hvítá and Rangá rivers, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of a potential jökulhlaup. Vulnerability of the human, natural, and built environments …

Geomorphic Reconstruction and 3D Visualisation of a Tenth Century Volcanic Jökulhlaup at Sólheimajökull Glacier, South Iceland
Jökulhlaup (glacial outburst floods) present a recurring natural hazard to the inhabitants and infrastructure along Iceland’s south coast. The high-energy, debris-rich floods are capable of eroding, transporting and depositing vast quantities of sediment; and in some cases, can completely re-shape …

Insights into marine biological responses to Icelandic glacial outburst floods from remote sensing data
… (64.4220° N, 16.7902° W) at least since 1940. Jökulhlaup (glacial outburst floods) frequency has increased but their magnitude has decreased. This study examines jökulhlaup effects on the marine environment at the Gígjukvísl, Skaftá, and Kúðafljót estuaries. Remote sensing data integrated in …

Volatiles in Icelandic subglacial rhyolite
… of the facies at Bláhnúkur, and a syn-eruptive jökulhlaup during the formation of Dalakvísl, thus offering useful insight into edifice construction and the associated hazards. Pre-eruptive volatiles contents reveal that effusive magma had relatively low pre-eruptive H2O contents (up to 2.9 …
