Estimating local surface glacier mass balance from migration of the 1918 Katla eruption tephra layer on Sléttjökull, southern Iceland
We use the apparent horizontal shift of an englacial tephra layer outcrop to calculate local glacier mass balance on Sléttjökull, a lobe of Mýrdalsjökull in Southern Iceland. For this approach, the dipping angle of the englacial tephra layer in the glacier upstream of the outcrop and the flow veloci...
