pulses, which are the most characteristic feature of near-fault strong-
motion, scale with key parameters of the specific barrier model and may effectively be simulated using
a phenomenological model. The key model parameter, the local stress drop, has been inferred from
Icelandic strong-motion data. The variations in site conditions of the recording sites have been

too early independently of parameterization, and most of the winter snow pack was melted
already in January leaving no snow to be melted during April as observed. This led to
suspicion about the quality of the simulated temperature data for this watershed. For this
reason, it was decided to compare the MM5 temperature to a gridded temperature data set
estimated by Crochet

The project is led by the Icelandic Meteorological Office and the Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Iceland.
The main objectives of FUTUREVOLC are to establish an integrated volcanological monitoring system through European collaboration, develop

April (18:30).
The activity continued with gradually decreasing intensity the following day on both clusters. Around midnight, however, two earthquakes of magnitude 3.4 and 3.6 occurred in the northwestern part of the cluster and were felt in Grímsey. This led to a temporary increase in activity, which since then has been slowly decreasing.
Below is a map of the bathymetry east of Grímsey

multidisciplinary NEONOR 2 project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council in cooperation
with ten petroleum companies and include seven research institutions led by the Norwegian Geological
Survey (NGU). The activities started mid 2013 and is closing early 2017. The prime objective

Design principles
The comparison of the principles (P) contained in
four guides (Tables A3-1–A3-4) led us to propose
seven overarching design principles:
1. P1: See the participation process as an
opportunity for effective decision making and
not as a constraining obligation. Decision
makers should welcome the idea of
participation when it is appropriate, because
a successful process will enable

the moment release dropped by a factor of 100 - 200 in the first weeks after the onset of the eruption. This drop is expected, as the eruption released pressure from the dyke. In the following weeks, activity drops further by a factor of 50 - 100, but remains rather stable at around 5E12 Nm during the last three months. The total decay of moment release in the dyke has dropped by a factor of about

Icelandic seismologists were involved in two other prediction research projects which also had Iceland as a research basis, the SMSITES project (EC project 2000-2003) led by UK scientists and the RETINA project (EC project 2002-2005) led by French scientists. They have also been involved in three other EC projects which have created a significant
