).
The relative importance of these uncertainties depends on the time period considered (Figure
1.1). Scenario uncertainty is very important in the long run. For example, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change best estimates for the global mean temperature
change by the end of the 21st century vary from 1.8 qC to 4.0 qC between the SRES scenarios
with the smallest (B1) and the largest

is a collaborative effort of many glaciologists at several institutes that conduct
measurements and research on glaciers in Iceland.The
article is a timely summary of the results of research on the Icelandic
glaciers, and is intended as a contribution by Icelandic scientists to the Sixth
Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

speeds in northern Europe. These 10 models are a subset of the 23 models used in the 4th Assessment
Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The models were found to represent the
climate in the Nordic countries reasonably well. The grid size of the models varies between 100-300 km;
therefore the grid point estimates from the models are more
