have repeatedly occurred over the last millennium. The seismicity is a result of plate
spreading at the Mid-Atlantic rift, which crosses Iceland from SW to NE. The rift runs along
Reykjanes Peninsula (RP in Figure 1) towards the Hengill region (within the grey box of
Figure 1), where the rifting is shifted ~100 km eastward along the South Iceland Seismic
Zone (SISZ), a left-lateral shear zone

as stimulus for responses (often ‘global warming’). This is not intended to be a
comprehensive review of all of the available studies on public attitudes towards
climate change. Of those which portray similar findings, only the most prominent
are referred to. Rather, we wish to draw out salient themes and issues

experienced by different localities. The concept of multi-level governance helps to highlight
this interrelation between levels by demonstrating that the steering of decision-making is no
longer a function of government only, but of a broader array of actors and levels (Boland
1999; Hooghe and Marks 2003). The multi-level governance concept has been developed out
of literature that shows

issues, or
"Achilles heels", in the development of management strategies to deal with natural hazard risks. It is
pointed out that evaluation of management strategies by itself is challenging, because risks are rarely
assessed to its full extent, and it is difficult to evaluate risks. Still, management of natural hazard risks
often suffer from a lack of coordination between actors involved

are masked
by the trough of a planetary wave, or are only recognised as small perturbations of the MSLP
field, unless the large-scale variability is filtered out. In those cases, the dynamical approach
based on relative vorticity may also be more appropriate. However, for the same reasons, the
use of relative vorticity can lead to serious over-detection. Local vorticity maxima may be due

government to establish an Icelandic Climate Centre under the lead
of IMO. An important task is to put forth detailed research plan to
be included in the national climate adaption plan which is being
formulated.
