A survey on flood risk perception was conducted in the town of Selfoss from May to August 2009 among
the residents aged above 18. The respondents were proposed to draw the boundaries of areas flooded
from the beginning of the 20th century on an orthophotograph of Selfoss at scale 1:10.000. The spatial
representations of the flood area were processed with a regulated grid of 10 x 10 metres

using HadAM3H and with 30% and 7% for the ECHAM-
driven experiments for Middle Europe and Scandinavia,
respectively.
[18] RCM output is not available for the entire period
1961–2100 because transient RCM simulations are com-
putationally very demanding. Instead two 30-year time
slices are available; one representative for the climate in
the period 1961–1990

In the closing session on Friday afternoon another two Workshop participants will be offered the
opportunity of presenting a brief summary of key impressions and messages (2 x 5 minutes). This will
require some degree of co-ordination among the rapporteurs. The Conference organizers need to know in
time (Friday morning at the latest) who will present

the principalmethods have not changed much over the years, theamount of field work has varied. In the first 15 yearsthe monitoring programme at Storbreen was com-prehensive, often three or more snow density pits
were dug, snow depth was measured at about 600points and ablation was measured on 30 stakes
evenly distri uted on the glacier (Liestøl 1967).Based on experience of the snow pattern, the ob-
