  1. 1. Assessing evolution of ice caps in Suðurland, Iceland, in years 1986 - 2014, using multispectral satellite imagery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Alicja Miodonska; [2019]
    Keywords : remote sensing; multispectral satellite imagery; Landsat; Iceland; glaciers; ice caps; Geography; GIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The study focuses on the application of multispectral satellite imageries in glaciological studies. It aims to assess how the Icelandic glaciers have evolved over the last decades (from the 1980s to 2014). The study area covers Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull ice caps located in Suðurland, Iceland. READ MORE

  3. 2. Differential Interferometry and Multiple-Aperture Interferometry for Retrieving Three-Dimensional Measurements of Glacial Surface Velocity

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Luke Webber; [2016]
    Keywords : Differential Interferometry; Multiple-Aperture Interferometry; 3D; Glacial Surface Velocity;

    Abstract : The measurement and monitoring of glacial surface velocity is important for many aspects of glaciology, such as determining the mass balance, for characterising the stability or instability of glaciers, or the identification of potential hazards from surging glaciers or Jökulhlaups, a type of glacial outburst flood. Predominately measurements of glacial surface velocity have been produced using either differential interferometry (DInSAR) applied to radar data, or offset-tracking applied to either optical or radar data.

  4. 3. Recent Icelandic Tephra in a Swedish Peat Deposit

    University essay from Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Author : Eric Skoglund; [2012]
    Keywords : tephra; ash; eyjafjallajökull; peat deposit; ash spread; ash cloud; aska; tephra; torv; askmoln; eyjafjallajökull;

    Abstract : Two eruptions from Icelandic volcanoes have in the last years caused widespread dispersalof volcanic ash in the atmosphere. The transportation of tephra from Iceland to mainlandEurope is not an uncommon event and it can cause large disruptions to society. READ MORE

  5. 4. Tackling the Eyjafjallajökull Volcanic Ash Crisis: How the EU influenced the International Civil Aviation Organization

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Karolina Krystyniak; [2011]
    Keywords : European Union; ICAO; Volcanic Ash Crisis; Institutional Interaction; Aviation; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : The goal of this single-case study is to contribute to understanding of the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic ash crisis from the institutional perspective. The Eyjafjallajökull eruption in April 2010 and the subsequent volcanic ash crisis grounding the flights across Europe demonstrated certain procedural inadequacies in the international aviation regime.

  6. 5. 1992-1998 seismicity and deformation at Mt. Eyjafjallajökull volcano

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Malou Blomstrand Stinessen; [1999]
    Keywords : Island; Mt. Eyjafjallajökull volcano; deformation; seismicity; geology; geography; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Sammanfattning: Målet med detta examensarbete i tillämpad geofysik är att öka förståelsen för geologiska och geofysiska processer och deras samspel under vulkanen Eyjafjallajökull i södra Island. På Island har sedan ett tiotal år tillbaka använts geodetiska mätningar med Global Positioning System (GPS) instrument och geodetiska tiltmätare för att påvisa krustal deformation, som orsakas av vulkanisk, annan magmatisk eller seismisk aktivitet.
