At the session, a synthesis of comments on the future of the IPCC will be introduced. A call was made for such comments and 37 governments, 16 organizations and more than 70 lead authors replied.
As stated in the paper submitted by the secretariat:
"All submissions endorsed the value of IPCC reports and strongly

Holuhraun eruption was accompanied by over 70
5.7>M>5 earthquakes on the rim of the Bárðarbunga caldera. A GPS station was installed in the ice-
filled caldera and captured both the slow subsidence of the caldera and displacement seismograms at 20
Hz of many of the larger collapse earthquakes. The GPS seismograms add constraints in the
interpretation of the caldera collapse

boundaries are frequently characterized by complicated fault
patterns, which makes their seismogenic potential and seismic hazard difficult to assess. The Reykjanes
Peninsula oblique rift has an over-all trend of 70°, highly oblique with respect to the spreading
direction, 101° in this region. It contains both volcanic systems and seismogenic strike-slip faults

covered. The central volcano, also called Katla, is located under the
Mýrdalsjökull ice-cap but its ice-thickness goes up to 700 m. The associated
fissure swarm reaches ~70 km NE towards Vatnajökull. The Katla volcanic system
is the fourth most active system in Iceland and has erupted at least 21 times
during the last 1100 years. During historical time, the average repose period
