Þröstur's Research

Anisotropy of ice

Single crystal velocity gradient in uniaxial compression, deformation by basal sliding only

Ice has an extremely strong plastic anisotropy, which has a strong influence on the deformation.

Modeling fabric development,
measuring anisotropy,
Elastic anisotropy,
Folding

Environment

Mýraeldar 2006 

Pollution, climate change and other changes in the environment are all of great interest.

Wildfires. Recent wildfires in Iceland should cause concern

Particulate matter pollution. Traffic, and other factors, bring the level of pollution in Reykjavik above health limits regularly.

Glaciology

The WAIS ice streams

Studies of water at the base and sliding, ice streams, Mýrdalsjökul, jökulhlaup, and more.

Physics of the Earth

 Surtsey interior based on gravity modeling

Anisotropy in the mantle.  Model of the interior of Surtsey.
