in Reykjavík in 1909. The seismograph was a Mainka instrument and it was sent from Germany under the auspices of the International Seismological Association (ISA). The seismograph measured the horizontal north-south component of the ground motion and the records were sent to Strasbourg for analyzing. In 1913 another seismograph of the same type was installed in Reykjavík that measured east-west

port (AR4).
Topic 1 summarises observed changes in climate and their ef-
fects on natural and human systems, regardless of their causes, while
Topic 2 assesses the causes of the observed changes. Topic 3 pre-
sents projections of future climate change and related impacts un-
der different scenarios.
Topic 4 discusses adaptation and mitigation options over the
next few decades

in other words, why should
participation be undertaken?
2. How can “good” or “effective” participation
be carried out and evaluated?
In addition, concepts and methods of stakeholder
analysis in natural resources management (Grimble
and Wellard 1997), as well as in public policy
analysis (Bryson et al. 2002), have been discussed
in detail to enable planners and policy makers to
better understand

Fault plane solutions of the earthquakes in Nordland, Norway

This study is a part of the ongoing NEONOR2 project which is carried out in Nordland, norther
Norway. This work aims to define the fault plane solutions (FPS) of the earthquakes

These
working hypotheses have been further developed into a
methodology for evaluating the level of Adaptive and
Integrated Water Management, which resulted in an ana-
lytical framework for assessing regime characteristics,
consisting of nine different dimensions of variables:
1. Agency
2. Awareness Raising & Education
3. Type of governance
4. Cooperation structures
5. Policy development

warming towards the northeast. The warming from
1961–90 to 2070–99 on an annual basis was about 1 K in the southwest of Iceland, but reached
2–3 K in the interior and on the east coast. Of the two emission scenarios used (A2 and B2), the
higher emitting one (A2) produced slightly more warming, but a very similar spatial structure. The
HIRHAM results also showed an increase in precipitation, with more

In Iceland and other countries located at around the same latitude and further north, low clouds are defined as clouds located up to 2 km in altitude and middle clouds from 2 km up to 4 km in altitude. A third cloud type, not shown on a specific map (however, the information appears on the map for total cloud cover), is high clouds which can reach from 3 km up to 8 km in altitude.
