IASPEI Press release on the l’Aquila sentence
The International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth Interior (IASPEI)1
The mission of IASPEI is to advance global seismological knowledge to mitigate the effects
and minimize the victims of earthquakes. The trial in L'Aquila condemns some

Climate change undermines a basic assumption
that historically has facilitated management of
water supplies, demands, and risks.

than can be expected to originate from the cauldrons, three to four times the wa-
ter equivalent of the accumulation of snow over the watershed of the cauldrons. It has
been estimated that flow from the cauldrons, in addition to the jökulhlaups, could be
2–5 m3 s 1 at maximum (Vatnaskil, 2005). It is possible that part of the sulfate-rich
groundwater from the glacier comes from the cauldrons

warming towards the northeast. The warming from
1961–90 to 2070–99 on an annual basis was about 1 K in the southwest of Iceland, but reached
2–3 K in the interior and on the east coast. Of the two emission scenarios used (A2 and B2), the
higher emitting one (A2) produced slightly more warming, but a very similar spatial structure. The
HIRHAM results also showed an increase in precipitation, with more

) noted that Iceland had a maritime
climate that was much milder than its position on the globe might suggest. In
data from 1981–2010, Iceland annual average temperatures ranged from 6°C at the
south coast to 3°C at the north coast, with a substantially colder highland
interior. In comparison with the latitudinal average for the same period, the
coastal temperatures in Iceland are 8–10°C warmer
