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-
forecast/), regulation planning and research purposes

on human health and the environment.A team of scientists led
by Dr Melissa Anne Pfeffer at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, with partners
from 16 international institutions, collated all ground-based measurements of
the 2014-2015 Holuhraun eruption cloud. The study recommends that a diversity
of methods used to measure eruption clouds continue to be improved upon, and
that additional

of the 19th century, when the glacier reached its maximum extent in recent times.
The foreland of Hoffellsjökull provides unique opportunities to observe the
geomorphological effects of glacier retreat. In 2010, the retreat of the
glacier led to the formation of a terminus lake that has grown rapidly every
year since then. The area of Hoffellsjökull has been

In particular, initial results from a UK project at Gígjökull, led by Newcastle University and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, will be presented. Representatives from agencies tasked with managing and mitigating jökulhlaup hazards are encouraged to attend. Through a series
