This graph shows the ice-surface lowering (subsidence) of the eastern Skaftá ice-cauldron in Vatnajökull ice cap in October 2015. Vertical displacement (m) was monitored by near real time presentation of data from a GPS station, mounted in the middle of the cauldron. The maximum elevation above sea level, top left (hæð), refers to the zero value on the y-axis; while such value top right

The Nordland shore region is known to be seismically active with deep local sediment basins on the
continental shelf that stretches some 200 km west of the coastline. The offshore areas west of Nordland

Simplest case: change in mean climate,
with no change in the magnitude of variability
If variability changes as well, the two tails of the distribution
(e.g., warm and cold) will be affected differently.
