Glacier fluctuations and rock glaciers in Tröllaskagi, northern Iceland, with special reference to 1946-1986 / H. Elizabeth Martin, W. Brian Whalley, Christopher J. Caseldine.
Title: | Glacier fluctuations and rock glaciers in Tröllaskagi, northern Iceland, with special reference to 1946-1986 / H. Elizabeth Martin, W. Brian Whalley, Christopher J. Caseldine. |
Author(s): | Martin, H. Elizabeth. Whalley, W. Brian. Caseldine, Christopher J. |
Date: | 1991. |
Publisher: | Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic |
In: | Environmental change in Iceland : past and present. (1991.), |
Abstract: | Rock glaciers is this area include features that appear to have evolved from debris-covered glaciers and co-exist with glaciers in marginally glacierized area. Monitoring of one such rock glacier since 1977, and with air photographs since 1946, allow activity to be assessed and compared with nearby rock glaciers and glaciers. Reasons for differing patterns of glacier and rock glacier activity are considered in terms of available climatic data, and it is concluded that rock glaciers should be used in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions only with care. |
