uncertainties from the whole model chain may become so large
that conclusions about development of extreme floods are very dif-

reference to (common) needs in Nordic countries
• the actual application and testing of these methods in co-operation

Equally, it is relatively easy to install wind turbines and thus increase production, if sufficient land is available.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office, Landsvirkjun, Landsnet and the University of Iceland are all participants in a project called Icewind. The project objectives, related to offshore wind, include resource mapping near Iceland and improved land-wind

Results and conclusions
Overall and preliminary results are that the method was easy to modify and apply to the three
Swedish municipalities and that the results of the LCLIP, including the process itself

are discussed.
Usefulness of hearing in seismic analysis is assessed by studying whether listening to suitably modified
seismic signal can provide information about the seismic source or quality of seismic data similar to
visual inspection. This is done by utilizing subjective experiences of seismic analysts familiar with
analysing seismic data using visual tools. Providing an easy/media/norsem/norsem_vuorinen.pdf
