The workshop will be held at Reykholt, W-Iceland, June 20–21 (1½ day, Thursday, Friday, arrival in the afternoon on Wednesday 19 June will be most suitable for foreign participants). An optional excursion on snow scooters onto the nearby

Skellefteå in Sweden, while the distance to the nearest Finnish city, Raahe, was 100 km. The
earthquake was widely felt in northern Sweden and Finland, the furthest reports come from some 250
km away, with intensities up to V. The main event was followed by 6 aftershocks within the first 8
hours, and two

Magma contains gases that can come out of the molten mixture
as pressure is reduced as the magma moves upwards. The gases are one of the
forces acting on magma: as gases come out of solution, the density of the magma
changes, and help its upward movement toward the surface. Volcanic gases are able
to reach the atmosphere, sometimes directly from the magma, and sometimes after

solidified lava interacting with water. Meltwater in the outlet rivers from the Dyngjujökull glacier has been increasing, resulting in water coming into contact with the cooling lava front. It is likely that such steam plumes will continue to be seen in the weeks to come.
Water levels on the Flæður floodplain, close to the source of Jökulsá á Fjöllum, are increasing due to summertime melting

It is clear that effective adaptation will be essential for coping with inevitable climate change. But are societies sufficiently aware of and prepared for these accelerating and unprecedented changes?

affected by the anticipated sea level rise.
One of the consequences of climate changes will be flooding which will affect the assessment and
delineation of suitable industrial and agricultural development areas. Groundwater level and sea level
rises will challenge the construction sector and it will be necessary to come up with new

From it´s start in 1988 the SIL project was based on physical approach in earthquake prediction
research. It was also stated from the start that the best information about crustal processes preceding
earthquakes would come from
