Abstract

My main research topics are: • Changes in geometry and dynamics of glaciers, deduced from remote sensing and field observations • Glacier mass balance and relations to climate changes • Mapping glacier bed, englacial tephra-layers and subglacial lakes with ice penetrating radar • Ice volcano interactions • Jökulhlaups (glacier lake outburst floods)
