Climate change will cause major effects for many sectors. Adaptation to future changed climate poses large and complex challenges as well as opportunities for societies, whereas solutions may often entail trade-offs between sectors, areas, social groups, and various risks. For these reasons decision making and decision support for adaptation to climate change is complex in several respects

and low resistance
detection, etc. These reactive adaptations would mitigate the increase in impacts to some extent.
The point is of course to develop proactive adaptation in order to prevent any increase of
accidents. In some cases innovations spawn by adaptation plans could even result in a reduction of
accidents. For impact assessment and cost-benefit analysis of adaptation alternatives

moment obtained from the Global Centroid Moment
Tensor solutions (CMT) (Dziewonski et al. 1983). The Mw values derived from the SIL system
for the 4th, 5th and 6th largest earthquakes in the data set are 4.4 for all three events, while the
corresponding Global CMT estimates are 5.1, 5.1 and 5.4, or greater by 0.7 to 1.0 magnitude
units. A procedure was therefore set up to re-determine

that some of the measured gases are odourless and colourless, making it difficult for humans to detect their presence.
The photo above was taken out of a helicopter in the evening of 8. July 2014. It shows the lagoon of Sólheimajökull (south of Mýrdalsjökull). The dark water is floodwater that comes out underneath the glacier. The area around this outlet can be dangerous due to gas emissions

The broad arrows at the upper section of the map show the directions of the spread of the tectonic plates. Other known fault systems are given with black lines

In collaboration with Ragnar Slunga, his most important contributions were in automatic estimation of fault-plane solutions for microearthquakes by inverting observed polarities and spectral amplitudes of P- and S-waves, and in relative locations of microearthquakes. Sigurður’s research thus demonstrated that microearthquakes contain information about large-scale tectonic processes.

to such a complex and pervasive issue, enveloped as it is in several layers of sci-
entific uncertainty, and entailing high stakes for all concerned (see for example
Oppenheimer, 2005). Decision making will require
