ESC statement on L’Aquila sentence
The European Seismological Commission (ESC) as a Commission of the
International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior
(IASPEI) endorses and adheres to the IASPEI Press Release on the L'Aquila
sentence (http://www.iaspei.org/news_items/laquila_IASPEI_press_release_final.pdf

The performance of the climate models in simulating the cli-
mate of Finland, Scandinavia or Northern Europe has been ad-
dressed in several studies (Jylhä et al., 2004; IPCC, 2007; Jacob
et al., 2007; Boberg et al., in press; Kjellstöm and Lind, 2009). Jylhä
et al. (2004) compared five GCMs and found that the annual cycle
of temperature was simulated qualitatively well, but some of the
models tended

those already reported. Oxygen was measured at
normal levels, so there is no evidence of carbon dioxide (CO2)
accumulation, but this was not measured on these devices. Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
was not detected in the cave.An addition hazard is the potential
for roof collapse. During another visit in the past week, an ice block sized
2*4*0.4 m was seen to have collapsed from a side wall near

5.6 earthquake indicate normal faulting (see diagram below), suggesting that the earthquake was related to spreading of a depressed block of seabed, known as graben. Analysis of the source mechanisms of the earthquakes NNW of Gjögurtá shows signs of horizontal movement. Although such strike-slip events (see diagram below) are common for this region, they seem to indicate that seismicity

connects the NVZ to the
offshore Kolbeinsey ridge (KR). The block bounded by the WVZ, EVZ and SISZ is
sometimes called the Hreppar micro-plate (HM). Seismicity is mainly confined to the two
transform zones, the TFZ and the SISZ. This thesis focuses on seismicity in the SISZ, RP
and WVZ.
