Global Climate Change, its expression and impacts on natural systems in Iceland is one of the research topics at IMO. Climate Change is largely driven by the increase in greenhouse gasses, due to human induced emissions.

The hotel, which is located at the historic Reykholt farm, provides facilities for meetings and includes access to hot tubs and Wi Fi.
Rooms are booked by e-mail to lidar2013@vedur.is (see Registration). The cost is 18400 IKR (~150 USD) per night for a single room and 21600 ISK (~170 USD) per night for two persons in a double room (20000 ISK (~160 USD) per night for one person in a double room

months per year depending on watershed. Mean yearly maximum snow thickness
decreases by 0–80%.
Winter flow is predicted to increase on average due to a higher number of melt events at
relatively high and flat heath areas of the watersheds. For Sandá í Þistilfirði, vhm 26, the
snowmelt generated spring/summer discharge peak largely disappears and the seasonal
discharge becomes more evenly

are international and countries exchange large amounts of data on a daily basis. Additionally, synchronous observations are made worldwide, allowing the state of the atmosphere to be mapped and examined.
Frequent observations made over long periods allow global atmospheric changes such as the enhanced greenhouse effect to be monitored and detected.
Weather observations are also necessary

Stóra Laxá. The combination of mild weather and intense rain is also encouraging snow to melt, which further contributes to the ongoing flood.
At 13:00 today, 26 February, the discharge of Hvítá at Fremstaver, in the northern part of the catchment, was 520 cubic metres per second. It will take floodwater in this region several hours to drain south, so maximum discharge will not be reached

Greenhouse gases have been monitored at Stórhöfði since 1991 by NOAA where the results are interpreted with similar data from all over the world. Continuous data plots of various greenhouse gases

The intensity of the eruption is there for slowly decreasing. Hopefully it will be possible to measure the volume of the lava field again later this week, which will give new numbers on the flow of magma.
