Effects on hydropower
According to predictions, run-off in utilized rivers will have increased by 27-84% in 2050. Which means:

with the radar system of Isavia’s aircraft. The measurements show large changes on
the ice-surface. Up to 15 m subsidence has occurred in the centre of the caldera,
which corresponds to a volume change of 0.25 km3. The shape of the subsidence
area is in accordance with the elevation of the caldera floor having lowered by that
amount.
