at the mapping of the surface of the largest glaciers using laser technology from airplane. The project is endorsed by the Icelandic Polar Year Commission. It set out in September 2008, comprising Hofsjökull, Mýrdalsjökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Eiríksjökull and Snæfellsjökull.
The outlines of Icelandic glaciers have been registered, using maps, aerial photographs and satellite images. The data has been

IMO's Involvement in WMO's Global Cryosphere Watch
25.1.2018
Three years ago, the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) approved the implementation of the Global Cryosphere Watch
(GCW) as a cross-cutting mechanism to bring together

example the Sustainability First scenario as developed as part of the
Global Environment Outlook (UNEP, 2007). The backbone of this
scenario is best described as a ‘‘new sustainability paradigm’’. The
scenario projects a strong and total change in human behaviour
cutting across all sectors and all scales. To typify the new situation,
the story uses phrases such as ‘‘new environment and develop-

The instrument was installed on the lowlands close to the volcano Eyjafjallajökull which erupted last year. The aim was to measure windblown resuspended ash from last year's eruption. Following the eruption at Grimsvotn

to 330 eruptions had occurred
in that period. The total number of eruptions on the ice covered part of the system in the last 7600 years could
therefore be around 350. Tephra volumes are poorly known but may range (as freshly fallen) from <0.02 to >0.2

1). Over the same period, the average total number of
people reported affected2 per decade rose by 1200%, from
approximately 38 thousand to 480 thousand. Meanwhile,
the total cost of reported damage3 doubled, from US$ 1.2
billion to US$ 2.4 billion (2006 prices), although this could
partially be explained by a higher density or vulnerability
of infrastructure and areas being used by humans. More
