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 coat, mittens etc. Iceland has many swimming pools, usually with geothermally heated water. Hence, in either season a visitor should bring a swim suit

power, bio-fuels and solar energy. The CE project benefited from the national projects and extends and integrated their work both on a regional scale and for cross-cutting subjects. The projected climate changes will influence both the energy requirements and the possibilities of energy production. Furthermore, extreme weather events could impact the planning, design and operation of the energy

Bayesian networks were used in order to facilitate problem definition and in search for
efficient measures, including diagnoses of causes and effects and uncertainties measures on identified
indicators. The case as one of four European cases gave input to design of guidelines for the use of Bayesian
networks as a participatory tool for water resources management (The FP5 EU research project MERIT

and caused the most extensive wind damage in the country for at least the last 6 years. A severe northeasterly storm hit the western and northern parts of the country between Christmas and New Year. Power supplies and communication were hit heavily for a few days. Many residential and industrial buildings had to be evacuated for a few days due to a threat of avalanches, which hit several structures

to be evacuated for a few days due to a threat of avalanches, which hit several structures but
the damage was minimal, without doubt because of the large mitigating effort which has been
ongoing for the last 17 years.

The year was warm, especially in the western part of the country. In Stykkishólmur in the

changes in runoff, discharge seasonality and water
courses imply modifications in design assumptions
and changes in the operating environment of hydro‐
power plants and other hydrological infrastructure
such as bridges and roads.

6 Bias Correction and Future Scenario Runs
After having specified a number of biases in the RCM output the model runs were repeated
with bias-corrected RCM data.
