Icelandic jökulhlaup impacts: implications for ice-sheet hydrology, sediment transfer and geomorphology

Glaciers and ice sheets erode, entrain, and deposit massive quantities of debris. Subglacial meltwater fluxes exert a fundamental control on ice dynamics and sediment transport budgets. Within many glacial systems outburst floods (jökulhlaups) constitute high magnitude, high frequency meltwater flux...
