ESC statement on L’Aquila sentence
The European Seismological Commission (ESC) as a Commission of the
International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior
(IASPEI) endorses and adheres to the IASPEI Press Release on the L'Aquila
sentence (http://www.iaspei.org/news_items/laquila_IASPEI_press_release_final.pdf

area covered in the model with sparse tundra (41.3% of the model land area) is in fact bare
rock or sand plains. The model description of surface type is therefore not a likely cause for the
strong wintertime cooling, since replacing at least sparsely vegetated areas in the interior of the

The International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior, IASPEI, has sent a press release on the l'Aquila sentence in Italy.
The European Seismological Commission, ESC, has encouraged its representatives in numerous countries

in Reykjavík in 1909. The seismograph was a Mainka instrument and it was sent from Germany under the auspices of the International Seismological Association (ISA). The seismograph measured the horizontal north-south component of the ground motion and the records were sent to Strasbourg for analyzing. In 1913 another seismograph of the same type was installed in Reykjavík that measured east-west

Abstract
Fast-rising jökulhlaups from the geothermal subglacial lakes below the Skaftá caul-
drons in Vatnajökull emerge in the Skaftá river approximately every year with 45
jökulhlaups recorded since 1955.
The accumulated volume of flood water was used to estimate the average rate of
water accumulation in the subglacial lakes during the last decade as 6 Gl

radiation
flux between snow-free and snow-covered regions, under clear shies, are of the same magni-
tude as differences between overcast and clear-sky conditions over the same surface type. At
around noon, across the southern edge of Vatnajökull on 27 July, and across the northern edge
on 3 August, for example, the net shortwave radiation flux increases from 300 W m 2 over the
glacier to 500 W m 2

scenario, precipitation increased by 10–15% from 1961–90 to
2070–99, and by 5–10% for the lower emitting scenarios (corresponding to approximately 0.5–1%
per decade).
The CE project also examined RCM results for Iceland based on the HIRHAM model (Haugen and
Iversen, 2006). These results showed enhanced warming over the interior of Iceland compared with
the coastal zone, and a tendency for enhanced
