Analyses of high energy – low frequency geomorphological events on slopes, fluvial and coastal dynamics in Iceland and methodological contributions
Iceland is an ideal setting to conduct geosciences research. Certainly, the inherent internal geodynamics of this volcanic island, connected to a hot spot and located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, contribute to its attractiveness for many geological researches, including geochemistry and tectonics.

Summary: | Iceland is an ideal setting to conduct geosciences research. Certainly, the inherent internal geodynamics of this volcanic island, connected to a hot spot and located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, contribute to its attractiveness for many geological researches, including geochemistry and tectonics. However, external geodynamics and, more specifically, methodological contributions and analyses of low-frequency but high-energy events, are emphasized in this special issue of the journal Géomorpholo. |
