York collaborated in installing a seismograph network throughout Iceland, including a network of five seismographs in the interior of the country. During the same period the number of stations in the IMO network increased markedly.
A new era of seismic monitoring began in Iceland in 1991, when a digital seismic system, the SIL system, was upgraded to fully automatic operation. It was designed

fault and triggered a number of earthquakes on the western part of the fault.
The activity was a useful reminder for the local authorities and for scientists that the Tjörnes Fracture Zone in North Iceland is one of the two main seismically active regions in Iceland, capable of producing magnitude 6-7 earthquakes. The last large earthquakes in North Iceland were the 1934 Dalvík earthquake (M6.3

the following five parameters
were adjusted: (1) Storage coefficient of direct runoff kd; (2) storage coefficient of
interflow ki; (3) drainage density d; (4) the fraction of surface runoff from snowmelt; and
(5) the recession constant krec for the decreasing saturated hydraulic conductivity with
increasing depth. For the groundwater flow, adjusted parameters (6–7) are the hydraulic

Abstract
Flood risk increases with rising sea levels and coastal settlements need to adapt to this increasing
risk. For that, hazard and risk assessments are an important step. Coastal floods have caused prob-
lems in Iceland in the past

Kjøllmoenet al. 2007).Storbreen is located just east of the main waterdivide between east and west in southern Norwayand receives precipitation from both directions(Liestøl 1967). The glacier is part of an east–west
mass balance transect in southern Norway where
mass turnover is largest near the western coast anddecreases towards the drier interior (Andreassen etal. 2005). Storbreen is in this respect
