Abstract/Summary

This image dataset was captured as part of the operation of a river gauging station on the Virkisá River, SE Iceland. The station formed part of the BGS Iceland Glacier Observatory network of sensors, deployed between 2009 and 2020 in order to characterise and identify glacial, geomorphological and hydrological drivers and processes and their timescales across the deglaciating Virkisjökull-Falljökull catchment in SE Iceland. The records presented here begin in September 2011 with the installation of the river gauging station, and continue to August 2020. Responsibility for the station passed to the Icelandic Meteorological Office in January 2018. The gauge is understood to remain operational as at August 2024. The data complements the published meteorological and river gauging datasets published here, and will be of use to researchers and students interested in the hydrology of a rapidly deglaciating landscape, including anyone interested to follow up on the various research studies published from this site in the international literature.
