Geog' Clips

Large Calving Event at Helheim Glacier, Greenland

Geog' Clip: While working in Helheim Fjord, Greenland, two researchers heard an unbelievable sound. This is what unfolded.

Simulated glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) from Laguna Glaciar, La Paz Department, Bolivia

Geog' Clip: A computer simulation, which predicts the likely path of an outburst flood, were the glacial lake to burst

Eyjafjallajokull and the impact of Icelandic eruptions

Geog' Clip: Causes, characteristics and impacts of the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajokull that caused widespread transport disruption throughout Europe.

A glaciated landscape

Geog' Clip: Filmed from Tryfan, a breath-taking glacial arête, the U-shaped Ogwen valley, these cwms & pyramid peaks last saw glaciers just 11K years ago

Nigardsbreen small-scale erosion features

Striations, chattermarks and the erosional impact of glaciers

Geog' Clip: Highlights the small-scale features characteristic of glacial erosion that can be seen in both past and present glacial environments.

Glacial lake outburst flood risk, Bolivia

Geog' Clip: This glacial lake in Bolivia could burst, posing a flood risk to downstream communities

Landscape evidence of recent glacier recession

Geog' Clip: Dr Richard Waller looks at landscape evidence used to reconstruct the extent and rate of glacier recession during historical times.

Glaciers, volcanic activity and braided river systems in Iceland

Geog' Clip: Clip encouraging students to 'think like a geographer' by considering the interaction of three key areas of physical geography: rivers, glaciation and volcanics.
