to changes in the seasonality of snow cover as well as in-
tensified melting of the glaciers in the region.
The seismic monitoring system transitioned into a na-
tional digital network with its primary focus on the South
Iceland seismic zone. The value of the network for mon-
itoring volcanic activity increased significantly, but this

versus management as learning—are contrasted as the

Interdependence of the regime characteristics
and responsiveness to floods and droughts
The key objective of our research is to see whether there is
a link between regime characteristics and responsiveness to
floods and droughts (as an output

Group 1 – Scenarios
Objective
To build scenarios for use in a 20 years planning process aiming at design of a climate change
adaptation plan.

stands for "Earthquake prediction research in a natural laboratory". The basic objective was to advance our understanding in general on when, where and how a dangerous earthquake might strike. Methods were developed to study crustal processes and conditions using micro-earthquake information, continuous GPS, InSAR, modeling, detailed fault mapping, earthquake history, and paleo-seismology.

objective of the CES workshop was to report the progress of the individual working groups and to identify the interactions and flow of information within the project. The participants also revisited the implementation plan including timeline and deliverables for the individual working groups.

The Climate and Energy Systems; Risks, Potential and Adaptation is in many ways a follow up on
the Climate and Energy (CE) Nordic‐Baltic research project (2003‐2006), both funded by Nordic
Energy Research (www.nordicenergy.net) and the Nordic energy sector. The main objective of the
CE project was to make
