Glaciers in Iceland have retreated notably since the end of the 19th century in response to climate warming. Prior to that glaciers advanced during the Little Ice Age (LIA), which lasted several centuries. The recession has had many geomorphological and hydrological effects, for example a widespread exposure of moraines and other glacial landforms, changes in river courses and crustal uplift. This thesis contributes to studies of the glacier changes with two papers. They focus on methods to construct digital elevation models (DEMs) of the outlet glaciers Kotárjökull and Breiðamerkurjökull in Öræfajökull and Vatnajökull, SE-Iceland, at the end of the LIA ~1890 as well as Breiðamerkurjökull in 1945. The DEMs are derived several data sources i...
