"There's tremendous change all around us," says Matthew J. Roberts, glaciologist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, in an interview taken on Solheimajokull. "This is a type-site for glacial retreat in Iceland and, in fact, globally."
Sólheimajökull is one of several valley glaciers extending

The seismograph measured the horizontal north-south component of the ground motion and the records were sent to Strasbourg for analyzing. In 1913 another seismograph of the same type was installed in Reykjavík that measured east-west

Abstract. The Little Ice Age maximum extent of glaciers in
Iceland was reached about 1890 AD and most glaciers in the
country have retreated during the 20th century. A model for

2.1.2 Type of Uncertainty
Walker et al. (2003) distinguished between various levels of uncertainty: determinism,
statistical uncertainty, scenario uncertainty, recognised ignorance and total (unrecognised)
ignorance. Refsgaard et al. (2007) added qualitative uncertainty from Brown (2004) and
adopted the name ‘types’ instead

was approximately as wet in the East in
November 2014, but it was considerably wetter in this area in
November 2002.December was very dry in the whole
country. It was the driest December for decades at many places.
