IASPEI is confident that the L’Aquila case will provide the opportunity to develop a proper
link between science, policy makers and society in order to avoid any type of
miscommunication of information and scientific knowledge in the future.

Windspeed conversions
The Icelandic Meteorological Office uses the SI (Systeme Internationale d´Unites) unit metres per second (m/s) in windspeed measurements. Here you can convert between different units of windspeed. Type a number into a textbox below and then click outside it. Please note that Beaufort-values are between 0 and 12.

reactivation type (reverse, normal or strike slip) based solely on their
azimuth. The earthquakes in the seismically most active area, close to Skellefteå, Sweden along the
western coast of the Gulf of Bothnia and its north-easterly continuation, appear to cluster around the
shoreline and along post-glacial faults, which are mostly oriented optimally for reverse or strike slip

are tested: Method I (MI) that uses the same flow
law parameter, A, as in the two studies discussed above, im-
plicitly including basal sliding, and Method II (MII) that in-
cludes a Weertman type sliding law (Paterson, 1994) where
the sliding velocity is assumed to be proportional to a power
of the basal shear stress, τb, (Vslid =C · τmb ); C is the slid-
ing parameter and the exponent m= 3 in our

based on statistical information, Akaike’s Information Criterion
can be used to select the best model. This method has
successfully been applied to another type of qualitative model
(see Lundquist, 2007). Additionally, a standard sensitivity
analysis can be performed to determine which weighting
factors are important and for which the system is insensitive.

reservoir becoming unstable and the release of a jökulhlaup. Jökulhlaups
from Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 are an example of this type of flood. In
large eruptions, such as Katla eruptions underneath Mýrdalsjökull, ice
melting can be very rapid and substantial in volume, resulting in large
floods.Jökulhlaups cause by melting due to hot pyroclastic flow
