for this study from two principal sources. Firstly, comprehensive
literature reviews undertaken during 2008 and 2009 allowed for the identification of
adaptation policies and other measures at each scale. Documents reviewed included policies
and legislation, climate impact reports, studies, and project documents, published by either
government or non-governmental (e.g. research and advocacy groups

a systematic com-
parison of results to observed precipitation has been carried out. Un-
dercatchment of solid precipitation is dealt with by looking only at
days when precipitation is presumably liquid or by considering the
occurrence and non-occurrence of precipitation. Away from non-
resolved orography, the long term means (months, years) of observed
and simulated precipitation are often

analyzes real-time data and creates an alert or warning about
volcanic tremor. The most difficult aspect of creating an efficient volcanic tremor detector is
isolating the desirable signals from unwanted, non-volcanic sources that can appear at multiple
frequency bands and trigger the warning module. For instance, a detector for volcanic tremor
should avoid triggering with storm tremor, which rises
