Overview of Icelandic glaciers at the end of
Glaciers in Iceland have retreated rapidly for more than two decades and glacier downwasting is one
of the most obvious consequences of a warming climate in the country. In this newsletter, glacier changes since about will be described briey along with the results of moni toring of glacier termini, glacier mass bal ance and crustal
movements

Wednesday (18.03) to review the
latest data.The deformation is occurring in the
same location as before, but at a slower rate. The uplift started in January
and halted temporarily at the end of February. The most recent data show that
since the beginning of March the uplift is about 20 mm. “The deformation now
seems to be quite slow, slower than in January. Indeed, 20 mm is a small uplift

for comparison, during
the first 24 hours following the 5.6 earthquake in Núpshlíðarháls, about 1700
earthquakes were detected in the area. "It is difficult to say whether the
activity is coming to an end or only temporarily reduced", says Einar
Hjörleifsson, specialist in natural hazards at the Icelandic Met Office.
"Given the number and magnitude of earthquakes in recent days, it is
likely

Activity in the Bárðarbunga system since the end of the eruption
A meeting of the Scientific Advisory Board
27.6.2016
The Civil Protection Scientific Advisory Board met June 23rd, in order to review new data on the volcano Bárðarbunga. Below is the report from
/about-imo/news/activity-in-the-bardarbunga-system-since-the-end-of-the-eruption
The emissions of gas from the lava
field continued for 3 months following the end of the eruption. The gas
emission rates reflected the deep magmatic system and also surface processes.The concentrations of
gases on the surface, which were affecting people downwind from the eruption,
were not always reflecting the current conditions at the eruption site. Gases
were observed to accumulate in valleys

EAWS avalance size classification
Avalanche size. Extent of the avalanche, classified by destructive potential and runout length.
Size 1 Sluff Minimal danger of burying (danger of falling) Snow relocation stops typically before the end of a slope
Size 2 Small Avalanche Could bury, injure or kill a person Snow avalanche stops typically at the end of a slope
Size 3

of the results will be finished before the end of 2013. Accurate elevation models based on these measurements will be available from Vatnajökull, Hofsjökull, Langjökull, Eiríksjökull, Snæfellsjökull, Mýrdalsjökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Drangajökull, Tungnafellsjökull and several other smaller glaciers.
A total of 11,000 km² glaciers have been mapped in this effort, but the total measured area exceeds 15,000
