Besides discussing the challenges of which their institutes are responsible, the attendants visited nearby Bolungarvík to dine in a historic house, Einarshús; took a guided tour through Ísafjörður and were shown some of the projects undertaken at the Snow Avalanche Centre which has expanded its role and leads various

unsaturated zone module and the groundwater module. The coupling between both modules
