Competent Authorities’ Institutional barriers
−Construction and participation obey different institutional contexts
– Institutional stability and historical success
–Existing laws “We can always compulsorily purchase the land, at end of the day”
–The institutional requirments for participation may be set too low
–Managers are legally responsible for decisions

MONIE model have a relaxation zone of 10 grid points, wherein the coarse-resolution outer
data from the host model is blended with the high-resolution data within the dependent model
domain. At the upper boundary, defined as the 10-hPa isobaric surface, vertical velocity is set to
zero.
The model is run in upper-air and surface data assimilation mode. The atmospheric analysis

in turn pursued their aim of giving
scientific advice in the initiation, set-up, and design
phases of the participatory process and evaluating
it from inception to end. The research projects were
intended to make an impact on water management
practice in view of adaptive management. The
projects also provided a direct link to the
consultants, who were financed by research funds

climate that was much milder than its position on the globe might suggest. In
data from 1981–2010, Iceland annual average temperatures ranged from 6°C at the
south coast to 3°C at the north coast, with a substantially colder highland
interior. In comparison with the latitudinal average for the same period, the
coastal temperatures in Iceland are 8–10°C warmer

Recent practical and theoretical developments

Snow avalanches represent a serious problem for society. An adequate level of avalanche safety is a prerequisite to further development

The hydrological simulations were performed with the Wa-
tershed Simulation and Forecasting System (WSFS) developed
and operated in the Finnish Environment Institute (Vehviläinen
et al., 2005). The WSFS is used in Finland for operational hydrolog-
ical forecasting and flood warnings (www.environment.fi/water-
