24th September - 3rd October 2013. Black stars are earthquakes over 3 in magnitude off the firth of Eyjafjörður in 2013. The black and white spheres are solutions for a few of the 2013 quakes, all showing right-hand movement in concordance with the right lateral transform zone of the Húsavík-Flatey fault (HFF) shown by arrows off Flateyjarskagi.

Jurisdictional and institutional evolutions
Economical dimensions
Psychological and societal dimensions
Engineering and planning solutions have to be elicited and tested.
All the components of risk are interlaced and should be assessed in an integrated manner. The use of
scenarios is indispensable.

A strong reflection may be observed though precipitation does not reach the ground, i.e. when water droplets evaporate while falling.
The weather radar laser beam is cone shaped and therefore the farther away a signal is the higher in altitude it needs to be to be detected.
At a distance of 100 km from the weather radar the laser beam does not detect signals which are under 1000 m from

Background
Climate change will cause major effects for many sectors. Adaptation to future changed climate poses large and complex challenges as well as opportunities for societies, whereas solutions may often entail trade-offs between sectors, areas, social groups, and various risks. For these reasons decision making

) is monitoring the region.
The hazards associated with each volcano are related to the type, location and intensity of an eruption. Public vulnerability to volcanic hazards increases as the number of people exposed to the hazard grows. A key issue in mitigating volcanic risk is the capability to detect, interpret, and communicate volcanic signals before and during a volcanic eruption.

but several small slides were released from rim of the slope. Fixed points were installed on
boulders after 2001 to detect future surface movements and these points have been remeasured
regularly with a GPS with a 1–2 year interval (Esther H. Jensen, 2002) (see Maps 6 and 7). The
movements were particularly rapid for a couple of years after 2001 but have been slower during
the last decade. Total

Rising stream- and river levels are expected on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, around the Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull ice caps, and south of the Vatnajökull ice-cap. Travellers are cautioned against fording rivers in these regions.
It is advised to check drainage and keep it clear of leaves, rubbish, ice and the like in order to prevent water damage.
