A simplified mechanical model for explaining fast-rising jökulhlaups

The paper describes a simplified mathematical model aimed at fitting available hydrographs of floods from subglacial lakes reaching their peak almost linearly in time, the so-called fast-risingjökulhlaups. The simplifying idea is that the glacier can be treated as a block with fixed width, length an...
