A wide variety of climatic factors influence the occurrence of debris flows, which include
mudflows and lahars (see Chapter 2). Climatic factors are an important subject for a better …

Periods of exceptional climate change in Earth history are associated with a dynamic
response from the geosphere, involving enhanced levels of potentially hazardous …

On the 20th September 2012, a large debris slide occurred in the Móafellshyrna Mountain in
the Tröllaskagi peninsula, central north Iceland. Our work describes and discusses the …

In the last 130 years, Icelandic glaciers have experienced significant mass loss, and
numerous paraglacial slope failures have been documented in the country. One such failure …

Terrestrial debris flows and their deposits are mainly studied and monitored because of their
hazardous nature. On Mars they may serve as geomorphologic indicators of transient liquid …

The geomorphic impact of present-day processes on slopes, with emphasis on the impact of
snow avalanches and debris flows, is investigated in North-western Iceland. Data are …

Debris flows in the Gleivarhjalli area in northwestern Iceland occurred after a sudden and
intensive snowmelt period during 10–12 June, 1999. The area, in the northwestern part of …

Debris flows are fast‐moving gravity flows of poorly sorted rock and soil, mixed and
saturated with water. Debris‐flow initiation has been studied using empirical and …

The paper examines the potential of dendrogeomorphic analyses to deliver a one-year
resolution chronology of snow-avalanche winters in Northern Iceland, at the scale of a …

Rapid, transient, landscape‐scale changes associated with deglaciation can condition
slopes for failure and trigger bedrock landslides. However, the mechanisms leading to paleo …
