) Finland the spring flood peaks are
currently by far the largest floods and as they mostly decreased
with climate change the magnitude of the annual 2 and 100-year
floods decreased. In the north (Fig. 8a) some scenarios still pro-
duced large spring floods in 2070–2099. In southern Finland (in
the coastal rivers Fig. 8e and in the lake area Fig. 8d) large floods
occurred not only in spring but also

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
the surface mass balance

The bw for the period prior to 1895/96–1922/23 was also 1.3 m w.e. using precipitationdata from Bulken. The reconstructed bw further in-dicated that the high winter balances measured inthe period 1989–1995 with a maximum

by ice lifting and deformation induced by subglacial water pressures higher than ice
overburden pressure.
The discharge data and the derived size of the subglacial flood path, as indicated
by the volume of water stored subglacially, indicates a development towards more
efficient subglacial flow over the course of the jökulhlaup. Thus, a discharge in the

Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC),
Common Agricultural Policy, etcetera], except for the
Ukrainian part of the Tisza. However, the Ukraine shows
strong incentives to enter the EU community and thus the
EU acquis communautaire is used as key reference for the
development of its water management principles. It was
nevertheless decided to select two case-studies

for Iceland were made. The CE
project used an ensemble of six GCMs and RCMs from the PRUDENCE project for four different
emissions scenarios (B1, B2, A2, and A1FI) developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC). The GCMs used by the CE project showed more warming during winter than
summer. During winter, the median projected warming from 1961–90 to 2070–99 ranged from
3–6 K, and from 2
