Conclusions of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Icelandic Civil Protection:
The eruptive activity at Holuhraun continues at similar intensity.
o The eruption sites are the same as before. Lava flows to the East at similar
rates as yesterday. Although the lava is now in contact with the river Jökulsá
á Fjöllum, it does not reduce the lava flow rates significantly. No explosive
activity

exist that reach
back to early 19th century but most series are much shorter (Hamlington and Thompson, 2016). In
contrast, satellite altimetry has only been available since the early 1990’s. Satellite altimetry mea-
sures the sea surface height, namely the sea level compared to a fixed reference frame (the center of
the earth, the geoid or a reference ellipsoid) for latitudes up to 66 N and S (ESA

– use the model to reconstruct the mass balanceprior to 1949;
– study the sensitivity of the model to differentmodel set ups and choices of parameters;
– and study the climate sensitivity of the glacierand implications of climate change on the massbalance.

enjoyable time during this work, both in the office and in the field.
This work was carried out as a part of the Skaftá cauldrons research project which
was funded and supported by the Icelandic Centre For Research (RANNÍS), Kvískerja-
sjóður, the NASA Astrobiology Institute, Landsvirkjun (the National Power Com-

with the radar system of Isavia’s aircraft. The measurements show large changes on
the ice-surface. Up to 15 m subsidence has occurred in the centre of the caldera,
which corresponds to a volume change of 0.25 km3. The shape of the subsidence
area is in accordance with the elevation of the caldera floor having lowered by that
amount.

o Forecasts indicate that high concentrations of sulphuric gases may be
expected in the northern part of the Eastern fjords, Fljótsdalur, Hérað,
Jökuldalur, and on Langanes. Forecast indicates that concentration may
become higher later today. The Environment Agency will set up new
monitoring stations in Akureyri
