and knowledge sharing between the different stakeholders; and (iii) aleatory uncertainty
is, by its nature, non-reducible. The uncertainty cascade includes many sources and
their propagation through technical and socio-economic models may add substantially
to prediction uncertainties

24th September - 3rd October 2013. Black stars are earthquakes over 3 in magnitude off the firth of Eyjafjörður in 2013. The black and white spheres are solutions for a few of the 2013 quakes, all showing right-hand movement in concordance with the right lateral transform zone of the Húsavík-Flatey fault (HFF) shown by arrows off Flateyjarskagi. The broad arrows at the upper section of the map

issues have to be addressed:
Jurisdictional and institutional evolutions
Economical dimensions
Psychological and societal dimensions
Engineering and planning solutions have to be elicited and tested.
All the components of risk are interlaced and should be assessed in an integrated manner. The use of
scenarios is indispensable.

presentations both on theory & methods and on case studies will be given.
Background
Climate change will cause major effects for many sectors. Adaptation to future changed climate poses large and complex challenges as well as opportunities for societies, whereas solutions may often entail trade-offs between sectors, areas, social groups, and various risks. For these reasons decision making

Currently we have incomplete knowledge in both the natural science and social science domain.
Governance and scales issues have to be addressed (jurisdictional and institutional dimensions
but also psychological and societal dimensions). Engineering and planning solutions have to be
elicited.
In the physical aspects of climate change, the following is needed (not exhaustive):

response to climate changes that are believed to have been much smaller than the greenhouse-
induced climate changes that are expected during the next decades to century. The “Hydropower,

ice caps in Nordic countries and their implications for the hydrology of glacial rivers

will be set up providing a “one-stop-shop” with information relevant to climate change
adaptation in these coastal communities.

Climate change will cause major effects for many sectors. Adaptation to future changed climate poses large and complex challenges as well as opportunities for societies, whereas solutions may often entail trade-offs between sectors, areas, social groups, and various risks. For these reasons decision making and decision support for adaptation to climate change is complex in several respects
