A simple (simplistic) method to include glaciated
areas with a limited ice volume in the WaSiM and
HBV models
Tómas Jóhannesson

Background
Within the CES project, there is a need for simple runoff modelling of drainage basins with
many glaciers without detailed mass balance and dynamic modelling of each glacier. Such
modelling needs to take into account the limited

Research Agenda
• Hurricane Mitigation Research
• Tornado Mitigation Research
Mitigation
• The theory behind disaster mitigation is a
simple one: by making an investment of
time, money and planning prior to the
occurrence of natural disasters, there can be
tremendous savings that result from
reducing the impact of natural disasters
