Received 2008 December 5; in original form 2008 June 12 SUMMARY Iceland is one of the few places on Earth where a divergent plate boundary can be observed on land. Direct observations of crustal deformation for the whole country are available for the first time from nationwide Global Positioning System (GPS) campaigns in 1993 and 2004. The plate spreading across the island is imaged by the horizontal velocity field and high uplift rates (≥10 mm yr−1) are observed over a large part of central and southeastern Iceland. Several earthquakes, volcanic intrusions and eruptions occurred during the time spanned by the measurements, causing local disturbances of the deformation field. After correcting for the largest earthquakes during the observation period, we calculate the strain rate field and find that the main feature of the field is the extension across the rift zones, subparallel to the direction of plate motion.

  • Geoterrace-2020-001
    GeoTerrace-2020-001 Volume changes of glacier frontal parts on Galindez and Winter islands in 2013-2019 *Kh. Marusazh (Lviv Polytechnic National University) SUMMARY The results of glacier monitoring on Galindez Island and Winter Island (the Argentine Islands in the Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctic Peninsula) in 2013-2019 are presents. The main objective of research was to determine how the volumes of glaciers changed in 2013-2019 in the course of a complex study. The materials of the Ukrainian seasonal expedition of 2013-2019 was used: terrestrial laser scanning data of 2013, 2014, 2018, terrestrial digital photography of 2013, 2014, 2018, 2019 and an unmanned aerial vehicle survey of 2019. The technique was used to determine changes in the volumes of glaciers can significantly improve both the speed and accuracy of the measurements. It included complementary processing of scanning data and digital photography of 2013-2018, and digital photography and aerial survey of 2019. Changes in the volumes of glaciers were calculated for the western and southern parts of the glacier on Galindez Island and the southern part of the glacier on Winter Island. The results demonstrate significant changes since 2002. This is confirmed quantitatively by independent studies of the West of the peninsula. Monitoring of the dynamics of glacier volumes enables detection of climatic and glaciological changes in the Antarctic region. GeoTerrace-2020 07-09 December 2020, Lviv, Ukraine Introduction The Antarctic ice cover is a complex natural system whose internal dynamics is sensitive to both atmospheric and oceanic influences. A deeper understanding of the underlying processes may have a profound impact on the development of prognostic models.

  • Subglacial to Emergent Volcanism at Shield Nunatak, Mt. Melbourne Volcanic Field, Antarctica
    Polarforschung 57 1/2: 27-41, 1987 Subglacial to Emergent Volcanism at Shield Nunatak, Mt. Melbourne Volcanic Field, Antarctica By G. Wörner and L. Viereck* Summary: Sections through Shield Nunatak vo1cano, an alkali basaltic subglacial table-mountain from the Mt. Melbourne Volcanic Field, are descrlbed. Resting on a base of older lava flows and a fossile tillite iayer, the volcano is formed mainly by massive ash and lapilli (mass flow) deposits while pillow lavas are absent. The recurrent stage of emergence from subglacial to subaerial conditions is characterized by de­ velopment of tuff rings from explosive interaction between magma and melt water, complex ash- and lapilli deposits, including lava flows brecciated by water-interaction and a subaerial basaltie ash-flow deposit. The sequence is capped by subaerial tuff rings, lava flows, scoria cones and reworked tephra. Available data on subaquatlc explosive voJcanism indicate that early Shield Nunatak basaltic lavas erupted un­ der less than 300 m of ice cover: later Iavas erupted under shallow-water and subaerial conditions. Shield Nunatak probably formed during a glacial period (possibly the last) when the ice thtckness in the Mt. Melbourne area must have been at least 200 m greater than at present. The volcano has suffered only minor glacial erosion and still almost has its original shape. Zusammenfassung: Es werden Profile beschrieben durch einen alkalibasaltischen subglazialen Vulkan (Shield Nunatak) im Mt. Melbourne Vulkanfeld. Die Unterlage des Vulkans wird von einer Serie subaerischer Lavaströme intermediärer Zusammensetzung (Mugearit) gebildet. Über einer Lage von Paleo-Till bilden massive Aschenablagerungen die Basis der subglazialen Sequenz. Kissenlaven fehlen.

  • Interglacial Heterogeneities in the Ice Caps of the Argentine Islands and Their Dynamics During first 2 Years of GPR Investigations

Interglacial heterogeneities in the ice caps of the Argentine islands and their dynamics during first 2 years of GPR investigations Anatolii Chernov (1), Denis Pishniak (2), Kristaps Lamsters (3), Janis¯ Karušs (3), and Maris¯ Krievans¯ (3) (1) Institute of geology, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine ([email protected]), (2) Department of Atmospheric Physics, National Antarctic Scientific Center of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine ([email protected]), (3) Faculty of Geography and Earth Sciences, University of Latvia, Riga, Latvia ([email protected]) First information about glaciological observations in the area of the Antarctic Peninsula is dated by the beginning of the 20-th century (French Antarctic Expedition 1904-1907). In 1960-th, Thomas and Sadler (British Antarctic Survey) noted that the ice cap of Galindez Island like the other Argentine Archipelago islands is a relict of the shelf glacier, which subsequent evolution needs further studies. Therefore, during several Ukrainian short-term researches (video-impulse radiolocation method in 1998, vertical electric-resonance sounding in 2004) of island’s glaciers on Galindez and Winter islands (the Argentine Archipelago) were organized. These researches reveal that monitoring of glaciers on the Argentine islands is important and should be done regularly. Furthermore, informa- tion about changes in island’s glaciers movement, deformation and geometrical parameters is considered to be an indicator of worldwide climate changes. In this paper, results of ground-penetrating radar surveying, drilling with photo-video recording and core sampling, which were done on the glaciers around the station Akademik Vernadsky since April 2017, are described.

Beach Daene C. McKinney Timeline Reconstruction of Holocene Jökulhlaups along the Jökulsá á Fjöllum Channel, Iceland by Greta Hoe Wells, B.A. Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2016 Abstract Timeline Reconstruction of Holocene Jökulhlaups along the Jökulsá á Fjöllum Channel, Iceland Greta Hoe Wells, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2016 Supervisor: Sheryl Luzzadder-Beach The Jökulsá á Fjöllum is Iceland’s second longest river, draining from the Vatnajökull ice cap and winding for over 200 km through the eastern highlands before emptying into the Arctic Ocean. Hydrothermal activity and subglacial eruptions beneath Vatnajökull generate enormous quantities of meltwater, which can drain catastrophically in outburst floods, known as jökulhlaups. Jökulhlaups have flowed through the Jökulsá á Fjöllum channel throughout the Holocene, but intense debate exists over their timing and magnitude. While previous studies report a peak flood discharge of 0.9 x 106 m3 s-1, Howard et al. (2012) found evidence of a peak discharge of 2.2 x 107 m3 s-1, which would make this the largest known flood on Earth. This project seeks to test Howard et al.’s (2012) hypothesis and, more broadly, to reconstruct a timeline of Holocene jökulhlaups iv along the Jökulsá á Fjöllum.

Hungerford 2013 iii THE MECHANICS OF SUBGLACIAL BASALTIC LAVA FLOW EMPLACEMENT: INFERRING PALEO-ICE CONDITIONS Jefferson D. G. Hungerford, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 Recent studies of terrestrial glaciovolcanic terrains have elucidated the utility of volcanic deposits as recorders of ice conditions at the time of eruption. Practically all of these investigations, however, have focused upon the associations of volcaniclastic and coherent lava lithofacies at or proximal to the source vent. Very few studies have documented the emplacement of effusion-dominated, basaltic glaciovolcanic eruptions and their distal deposits that more accurately reveal paleo-ice conditions. Both Mauna Kea volcano, Hawaii and the Tennena volcanic center (TVC), on Mount Edziza, British Columbia, Canada, preserve records of interaction between coherent lavas and an ice sheet inferred to be associated with the last glacial maximum (LGM).
