Lichenometry in dating recent glacial landforms and deposits, southeast Iceland
Lichenometry curves were derived for the glacier forelands of Breidamerkurjokull and Skalafellsjökull using measurements of the collective species, Rhizocarpon geographicum , from independently dated surfaces deglaciated during the period since the late‐19th century ice maximum episode in the area....
