Journal Article
Lachowycz, S. M., Pyle, D. M., Gilbert, J. S., Mather, T. A., Mee, K., Naranjo, J. A., & Hobbs, L. K. (2015). Glaciovolcanism at Volcán Sollipulli, southern Chile: Lithofacies analysis and interpretation. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 303, 59-78. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2015.06.021

© 2015 The Authors. Magma-ice-meltwater interactions produce diverse landforms and lithofacies, reflecting the multitude of factors that influence glaciovolcanism, including both magmatic (e.g., composition, eruption rate) and glacial (e.g., ice thic...

The effect on Icelandic glaciers of supraglacial deposition of tephra from the Eyjafjallajökull 2010 eruption (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Hobbs, L., Gilbert, J., Loughlin, S., & Lane, S. (2015, March). The effect on Icelandic glaciers of supraglacial deposition of tephra from the Eyjafjallajökull 2010 eruption. Presented at Volcano-ice and Icelandic Volcanism Conference 2015, Lancaster, UK

The explosive eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland, between April and May 2010 deposited supraglacial tephra on the surfaces of glaciers across Iceland. While the initial effects of the eruption caused glacial melting, there may have been longer ter...
