surface and groundwater system. The vegetation type deter-
mines the transpiration properties through the crop factor and
the root depth, and the fraction of precipitation that is
intercepted by the canopy. Land use changes can therefore
reduce or amplify future climate change induced hydrological
impacts in a catchment.

away from the eruption site, but it can also accumulate around the site. Increased accumulation leads to the reservoir becoming unstable and the release of a jökulhlaup. Jökulhlaups from Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 are an example of this type of flood. In large eruptions, such as Katla eruptions underneath Mýrdalsjökull, ice melting can be very rapid and substantial in volume, resulting in large

"There's tremendous change all around us," says Matthew J. Roberts, glaciologist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, in an interview taken on Solheimajokull. "This is a type-site for glacial retreat in Iceland and, in fact, globally."
Sólheimajökull is one of several valley glaciers extending

IASPEI is confident that the L'Aquila case will provide the opportunity to develop a proper link between science, policy makers and society in order to avoid any type of miscommunication of information and scientific knowledge

than 30,000 earthquakes at 5–7 km depth, advancing in short bursts at 0.3–4.7 km/h. Following each
surge forward, the seismicity behind the dyke tip dropped, implying that the subsequent dyke opening
was mostly aseismic. More detailed analyses of the seismic data recorded by a dense network around
the Vatnajökull icecap have revealed small magnitude, long-period (LP or B-type) events which

We present observations of the July 21st, 2014 event as recorded by the national infrasonic arrays
network installed in the country within the FUTUREVOLC European project. Infrasound released by
the event was recorded at a distance of 210 km from Askja volcano.

earthquakes in this zone, up to M 6.5. Their surface expressions are en echelon fracture arrays and

0.5 to 5 km, and together they form a bookshelf-type fault system taking up the left
