A GPS station was mounted there on 10th July 2015 in order to monitor displacements at Bárðarbunga in the aftermath of the Holuhraun eruption. Further adjustments and maintainance took place in November 2015 (see photos).

Exploring reasons why the risks of natural hazards seem to be ignored
by H. Asbjørn Aaheim, CICERO
Researchers give different explanations to why the risks of natural hazards seem to be ignored by
individuals, and management strategies are often deemed inappropriate. This presentation combines
empirical evidence from various disciplines and theoretical insights in order to identify critical

volcano collapsed during the eruption as 1.9 km³ of magma flowed laterally from a magma reservoir under the volcano. About one quarter formed a 48 km long dyke (0.5 km³) while about three quarters were erupted in Holuhraun (1.4 km³) over the six months between 31 August 2014 and 27 February 2015. The subsidence bowl formed in Bárðarbunga was up to 65 m deep and the area where subsidence exceeded 1 m

not intended to
monitor changes of “smaller” glaciers such as the glaciers in Iceland. Many
factors have to be taken into consideration and several corrections applied in
order to measure mass changes of small glaciers, including the effect of
vertical crustal movements induced by changes in glacier loads over the last
century on the gravity field (so-called glacial isostatic adjustment or GIA

In order to be able to predict an eruption, or issue a
public warning on imminent eruption, it is important to monitor the Earth's
crust with a dense network, especially where volcanoes are located to near
inhabited areas.
Volcanic areas are usually characterized by seismicity, which can
be very different for example in intensity and magnitude between different

distinct from other modes. Similarly, at regional/local levels mainly links to the neighboring
regions count, not so much links to other networks. This delineation is also important in order to
keep the adaptation planning and policy cycle manageable, because the road transport sector has
many stakeholders with different agendas. Climate change has a large variety of direct and
indirect impacts
