Variability of textural characteristics of sandur deposits of Flaajókull and Falljókull (SE Iceland)

• Authors: Piotr Angiel

Abstracts

EN

Studies conducted on the sandurs of Flaajókull and Falljókull aimed at the reconstruction of the dynamics of braided rivers based on the grain size parameters of deposits. The goal of the project was to estimate the degree of deposit transformation and of changes of grain size characteristics as related to the length of transport in contemporary sandur rivers.
