Abstract
The Icelandic Glaciological Society received reports on approximately 50 measurements sites of glacier front variations in the autumn of 2019. Glacier retreat was observed at 80% of survey sites whereas advances
where reported from 4 sites. The warm summer led to fewer snow-covered glacier margins, and more successful surveys. As in recent years the proglacial lakes make terminus measurements more difficult, although
the laser rangefinder works well.
期刊介绍:
Jökull publishes research papers, notes and review articles concerning all aspects of the Earth Sciences. The
journal is primarily aimed at being an international forum
for geoscience research in Iceland. Specific areas of coverage include glaciology, glacial geology, physical geography,
general geology, petrology, volcanology, geothermal research, geophysics, meteorology, hydrology and oceanography. Jökull also publishes research notes and reports from
glacier expeditions, book reviews, and material of interest to
the members of the Icelandic Glaciological and Geological
Societies
