Below are instructions on how to embed an iframe for wind, temperature and precipitation forecasts; the code for the iframe is listed. Web-masters should decide which area of the country will appear.
In order to embed this single frame (which gives both wind, temperature and precipitation forecasts), the following code is pasted into the html file where the frame should appear:

Below are instructions on how to embed iframes for station forecasts, text forecasts or observations. The code for station forecasts is listed. Web-masters should decide which area of the country will appear. If preferred, the frame can show either text forecasts or observations, rather than station forecasts, when opened.

needs to be based on an understanding of the dynamics of granular flows against obstructions that lead to a change in the flow direction, slow the flow down or cause it to stop. Laboratory experiments have been performed in recent years with granular material in order to shed light on the dynamics of avalanche flow over and around braking mounds and catching dams and to estimate the retarding effect

to volcanic eruptions must be made. An integrated risk assessment consists of an evaluation of potential hazard and the vulnerability of society, followed by an estimate of the corresponding risk and of feasible counter-measures in order to prevent accidents and minimise economic damage.
The work on a general risk assessment will be organized in accordance with the risk assessment framework

This is the first example of supporting structures preventing or reducing the size of a snow avalanche in Iceland.

Substantial changes have taken place in the climate of the Nordic countries in the last 20-30 years and changes on the same order of magnitude are expected until the middle of the 21st century. It was clear from many presentations at the conference that energy companies have already taken recent changes in climate and the consequent changes in hydrology into account in their operations. The companies
