1). Over the same period, the average total number of
people reported affected2 per decade rose by 1200%, from
approximately 38 thousand to 480 thousand. Meanwhile,
the total cost of reported damage3 doubled, from US$ 1.2
billion to US$ 2.4 billion (2006 prices), although this could
partially be explained by a higher density or vulnerability
of infrastructure and areas being used by humans. More

about 28% and losses from the polar ice sheets
contributing the remainder. From 1993 to 2003 the sum of these
climate contributions is consistent within uncertainties with the total
sea level rise that is directly observed. {WGI 4.6, 4.8, 5.5, SPM, Table
SPM.1}
Observed decreases in snow and ice extent are also consistent
with warming (Figure 1.1). Satellite data since 1978 show that an-

an important part of the runoff from many areas. In total, approximately
20% of runoff in Iceland originates from groundwater (Hjartarson, 1994a).
In the above mentioned previous simulation of runoff map for Iceland for the period 1961–
1990, groundwater was omitted. Effects of groundwater flowing across watershed
boundaries were simulated by scaling the precipitation for each watershed. On watersheds

For Austari-Jökulsá, vhm 144, runoff from the glacier will increase substantially due to
increased snow and ice melting. The share of glacier originated runoff in the total annual
volume is predicted to increase from 20% to 25–30% and the duration of glacier runoff is
predicted to increase by nearly two months, reaching further into the spring

methodology is widely utilized by many automatic earthquake detectors, but instead of having
window lengths on the order of minutes, like the ALERT module, they have window durations
on the order of seconds. A longer STA window duration will make the module less sensitive to
small signals (Trnkoczy, 1999). Additionally, the total duration of the STA and LTA windows
may not exceed 24 hours

country; small and medium sized coastal rivers; and large and
medium sized rivers of northern Finland (Fig. 1b) (Mustonen,
