Controlled moraine development and debris transport pathways in polythermal plateau icefields: examples from Tungnafellsjökull, Iceland
Abstract A modern landsystems analogue for plateau icefield glaciation is presented, based upon Tungnafellsjökull in the arid, cold interior of Iceland. Landform mapping and intensive clast form analysis on three separate forelands occupied during the Little Ice Age reveal variability in the morphol...
