E. R. Guðmundsdóttir et al. ÁGRIP Fram til þessa hafa verið borin kennsl á 130 gjóskulög í setlögum á íslenska landgrunninu frá nútíma og síð- jökultíma. Elsta gjóskulagið er um 15.000 ára gam- alt og það yngsta frá árinu 1947. Gjóskulög hafa fundist í 30 sjávarsetkjörnum. Flestir kjarnanna eru á norðanverðu landgrunninu og meirihluti gjóskulag- ana hefur fundist þar. Á vestan- og sunnanverðu land- grunninu hefur mun færri gjóskulögum verið lýst. Af þessum 130 gjóskulögum hefur verið hægt að tengja 40 gjóskulög við gjóskulög á landi, bæði hérlendis og erlendis og þar af eru 26 tímasett gjóskuleiðarlög. Flestar tenginganna spanna síðustu 7050 ár. Saks- unarvatn og Vedde gjóskulögin eru einu lögin sem lýst hefur verið á öllum þeim svæðum landgrunnsins sem hafa verið rannsökuð. Gjóskuleiðarlög hafa gegnt mikilvægu hlutverki í að meta umhverfisbreytingar í hafinu, þ.a.m. breytingar í sýndaraldri sjávar við strendur landsins. Gjóskulagaskipanin á norðanverðu landgrunni Íslands gefur upplýsingar um eldvirkni ís- lenskra eldfjalla lengra aftur í tímann en gjóskulaga- skipan á landi og er því mikilvæg viðbót við þekkingu á gossögu Íslands.
