thickness is 10-12 meters and estimated volume of eruptive material 22-24 million cubic meters (only one fifth of Hekla 2000).
Accordingly, the average flow rate has been approximately 15 cubic meters per second since the eruption began. The eruptive cone stands 82 m above previous ground level and the highest peak is 1067 m a.s.l.

and October. It was exceptionally warm in Reykjavík in November and
December. In Akureyri, the temperature was above normal in all months
except August. Precipitation

landslides hit the town of Seyðisfjörður during these days, the
largest on 18 December. It ranks as the most damaging landslide to
have affected an urban area in Iceland.Table

excess was largest in the East. Heavy
rainfall in the East and Southeast at

The temporal resolution of the selected data varies from daily to annual.
Simulations for the 20th century are available, extending to 2005 when the RCP (Representative
Concentration Pathways) simulations start. Furthermore, reanalysis products are available
between 1981 and 2000. The reference period for this study is therefore chosen to be from
1981 to 2000. We use CORDEX simulations from

faulting. In June 2000, two large earthquakes of magnitudes ML6.4 and ML6.5 struck in the
SISZ, three and a half days and approximately 17 km apart. Seismicity greatly increased in
all Southwest Iceland and during 2000, roughly nineteen thousand microearthquakes were
recorded there. The aim of this research is to relocate the earthquakes using a double-

for an alert system. The alert system has been in operation for almost two decades and is in further development. The SIL system also provides a basis for all the later prediction research projects.
The PRENLAB and PRENLAB-2 projects of several European countries, 1996-2000 (EC supported projects) were a direct continuation of the SIL project, but with a more multidisciplinary approach. PRENLAB

most active volcanoes.
Earthquake activity in the vicinity of Hekla is usually quite low, but seems to
increase abruptly before an eruption. Before the eruption in Hekla in 2000,
increased earthquake activity was measured in the area and a seismic swarm
occurred just about an hour before the eruption. In addition to the earthquake
activity, there were some significant changes in nearby strain
