A seismometer has been in operation by the IMO at the site since the autumn of 2014 and the main purpose of the new station is to monitor the weather conditions at this important station in the network amongst the volcanoes of Vatnajökull (Bárðarbunga, Grímsvötn, Hamarinn and Kverkfjöll). The station is powered by a wind generator and a solar panel (during summer). Location information is as follows

electronic registration equipment, pressure sensor to measure the water level, sensors for the conductivity and temperature in the water, solar-panel which provides energy for the station, a telephone and a modem for the transfer of data. An alarm goes off when conductivity or the water level reaches a given limit and alerts Neyðarlínan (the Emergency Watch), bringing in specialists who decide

Introduction
• According to the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) an increase in the
surface temperature of water, and changes in
the hydrological cycle could result in changing
extreme weather events. Some

Both upper panels show the activity in the dyke, where left panel shows the cumulative moment release per week and the right panel the weekly number

links within the system, and help define and prioritize mitigation efforts to minimize floodings.
