Abstract
Fast-rising jökulhlaups from the geothermal subglacial lakes below the Skaftá caul-
drons in Vatnajökull emerge in the Skaftá river approximately every year with 45
jökulhlaups recorded since 1955.
The accumulated volume of flood water was used to estimate the average rate of
water accumulation in the subglacial lakes during the last decade as 6 Gl

Topic 3 Climate change and its impacts in the near and long term under different scenarios
3.2 Projections of future changes in climate
For the next two decades a warming of about 0.2°C per de-
cade is projected for a range of SRES emissions scenarios.
Even if the concentrations of all GHGs and aerosols had
been kept constant at year 2000 levels, a further warming of
about 0.1

see if this is actually a problem. The completeness of the data series is discussed in section

For CGPS stations reliant on remote power sources, the preferred solution is a photovoltaic
solar panel and a wind generator. However, several
