decision and the factors are interlinked, all of which makes
the problem highly complex. The part of the net defined by
variables and links is relatively easily communicated to
stakeholders (Henriksen et al., 2007b). However the

using an orographic precipitation model.
This model retains the essential physics and dynamics of orographic precipitation such as airflow dynamics, hydrometeor formation and fallout times as well as lee-side evaporation. This procedure makes it possible to simulate the distribution of precipitation in much more detail than has been done until now in Iceland and opens up new possibilities

boundaries are frequently characterized by complicated fault
patterns, which makes their seismogenic potential and seismic hazard difficult to assess. The Reykjanes
Peninsula oblique rift has an over-all trend of 70°, highly oblique with respect to the spreading
direction, 101° in this region. It contains both volcanic systems and seismogenic strike-slip faults

alternative scenarios, including uncertainty. This leads not to direct problem solving, but
rather to increasing the adaptive capacity of the system and raising increased awareness
among water managers that a substantial part of the information they use is highly
uncertain.

This is the reason that the Icelandic Meteorological Office published the map, to show all of the glaciers of Iceland and the changes to them which took place during the last century.
On the Map of the Glaciers of Iceland the outlines of all the glaciers are shown together, thus it is easy to see their distribution and the comprehensive record of the changes to them.
The map shows the greatest extent

repeatedly as concentrations
of gas reached dangerous levels due to sudden changes in wind conditions.
o At the eruption site, local wind anomalies can occur due to thermal
convection from the hot lava. This makes the conditions on site extremely
dangerous as winds can change suddenly and unpredictably.
Around 80 earthquakes have been recorded since midnight. The largest two
