crease snowmelt floods, which are currently the largest floods in
most parts of Finland. Significant changes in seasonality of runoff
and floods may occur in areas where a large proportion of runoff
is from snowmelt (e.g. Lettenmaier et al., 1999; Bates et al., 2008).

and magnitude. Over 60 earthquakes have been
detected since midnight. Most of them have been by Bárðarbunga and the dyke
under Dyngjujökull. The biggest earthquake, of magnitude 4.0, was detected today at
around 07:00 in the south of Bárðarbunga. Three other earthquakes of 3.0 in
magnitude or more have been detected today.

in southern Norway (Fig.1). The glacier has a total area of 5.4 km2 and rangesin altitude from 1390 to 2090 m a.s.l. The glacierhas been mapped repeatedly, the most recent mapis from 1997. Areas calculated from the 1951 and1997 maps reveal an area reduction of about 0.4km2 in this period (Andreassen 1999). Lengthchange observations reveal a net retreat of about 60
m from 1997 to 2006 (data: NVE; e.g
