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

design intensity increased by 16%. An increase in short term extreme precipitation may increase the
risks of flooding in stormwater systems. The inconveniences are expected to be greatest in the older
parts of towns with combined sewer and rainwater collections systems. These increased risks will be
investigated in downtown Reykjavík. Modeling

Social, natural and cultural systems are changing rapidly, influencing the future of Europe's
fresh waters. One of the drivers shaping this future is the implementation of the Water
Framework Directive. Participatory scenario

can the eruption be expected to last? A direct connection has now been established from the mantle to the surface
in Geldingadalir. Primarily, it is the amount of available magma at the boundary
of the crust and mantle that determines how much material eventually reaches
the surface. There are examples of shield volcanic eruptions on the
Reykjanes Peninsula that lasted for many years

An extensive grass fire was raging for a few days in the west, starting on 30 March. This grass
fire is the largest known in Iceland, about 67 sq kilometers (6700 hectares) were burned. The
squads fighting the fire managed to shield all farmhouses in the very sparsely populated area.
The area will presumably recover in a few years as there is no forest there.

the mountainside (see fig. 1).
An avalanche slab was released inbetween the rows of supporting structures. The snow was mostly stopped by the structures and piled up against them (see fig. 2) but part of the snow jumped over the rows. A slab was also released below the lowermost row. The avalanche stopped near the foot of the slope to the west of the structures but before it reached the bottom of the slope
