eastern Iceland (Crochet & Þórarinsdóttir, 2015). This study is a continuation of this work.
The capacity of the IFM to estimate design floods at ungauged locations is now evaluated for
river basins having substantial glacier coverage and/or substantial groundwater contribution to
streamflow. The report is organized as follows. Section 2/media/vedurstofan/utgafa/skyrslur/2015/VI_2015_009.pdf

Review of risk and uncertainty management approaches used in the energy sector; and
Integration of risk and uncertainty in decision support tools. A risk management framework, developed by VTT of Finland, according to the emphasis of the industrial partners, has since been tested and applied in various energy sectors (e.g. hydro

on a 5-year return period (Figure 2). The 1M5
method is derived from earlier, pioneering work by NERC (1975), which related precipitation
depth from a storm of given duration to a return period. The 1M5 map is used widely in Iceland
as an engineering resource in the design of highway infrastructure and sewer systems
(Hlodversdottir et al., 2015).

Users with ISDN connections to the internet seem as satisfied as other users. This suggests that reduced speed does not affect the actual use of IMO's web-site, although somewhat aggravating to those already accustomed to greater speed.
The next step, according to the original analysis of needs and demands, is to design and implement a lighter version of the web-site for mobile phones

road maintenance sector were created with the inherent design logic to be robust over
different temporal, spatial and governance scales. The main assessment criteria for road
maintenance in relation to climate adaptation that have been identified are: 1) safer roads,
2) better asset management, 3) lower frequency of maintenance, 4) use of lower impact
materials, and 5

of Fehr and Schmidt (1999) mostly hold in our data when the situation is free of any
uncertainty. Finally, our results also suggest that individuals’ behavior is consistent between
different experimental games.
The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 explains the game and the theoretical pre-
dictions, and Sect. 3 presents the experimental design. The results are analyzed in Sect. 4.

During summertime tourists should bring a windbreaker, rainwear, a thick pullover (wool or fleece) and sturdy walking shoes. Travellers who are camping or heading into the interior will need warm underwear and socks, rubber boots and a warm sleeping bag.
During wintertime tourist should bring warm clothing, warm
