The representation of
these factors is still lacking or at best rudimentary in most RCMs. While adding more detail to re-
gional climate studies, numerical downscaling is sensitive to various errors and biases in the GCM
dynamics that may average out globally, but are present on the regional scale. In an attempt to
minimise GCM errors, statistical downscaling methods correct GCM projections based

as gridded nature of the ICRA dataset does not match exactly with catchment
boundaries.
Out of the eleven catchments, only Þingvallavatn, with a mean altitude below 500 m a.s.l., is
not completely in the highland region. Six catchments are located between the Hofsjökull and
Vatnajökull ice-caps and they share common borders: Búðarháls, Hágöngulón, Kvíslaveita,
Sultartangi, Þórisvatn, and Tungnaá

Hazard zoning has been carried out for most or all towns and villages in relevant areas in the north, west and east (see map below), as well as local hazard zoning for some individual farms or recreation areas.

zoning has been carried out and refined for towns and villages in the north, west and east; as well as local hazard zoning for some individual farms and recreation areas. According to this, warnings were issued and evacuation plans carried out at Ísafjörður, Hnífsdalur, Súðavík, Flateyri and Patreksfjörður; all in the Westfjords.
In North Iceland, transport was greatly affected. Large avalanches

The results of the collective research were published in 2009 in a book called The design of avalanche protection dams - Recent practical and theoretical developments.

The Icelandic Met
Office and King's College London are carrying out a survey on views toward
volcanoes. It has two aims: to investigate Icelanders' and tourists' views
about the 2014–15 eruptions at Holuhraun, and to assess the role of volcanoes

and only a few reach 3 or 3.5. As expected, this episode is fading out.
As said earlier, Ölfus lies in the so called south Iceland seismic zone where earthquakes are to be expected because of conflicting rift zones on either side. Further information can be found in a report called Modelling and parameterizing the Soutwest Iceland earthquake release and deformation process, published by IMO in 2006
