  • Adaptation decision-making in the Nordic countries: assessing the potential for joint action

    This paper explores the potential for Nordic cooperation on adaptation; specifically, for the development of a regional adaptation strategy. In particular, it addresses two questions (1) What is the current state of adaptation in the Nordic countries? and (2) What are the potential benefits and weaknesses of a Nordic strategy for adaptation?

  • Economic Impact of Adaptation to Climate Change in Iceland’s Energy Supply Sector
    Transformer-based models consist of interleaved feed-forward blocks - that capture content meaning, and relatively more expensive self-attention blocks - that capture context meaning. In this paper, we explored trade-offs and ordering of the blocks to improve upon the current Transformer architecture and proposed PAR Transformer.

  • Scaling Deep Decarbonization Technologies

    Key Points: • Scaling low carbon technologies is fundamentally different from research, development, and demonstration of those technologies • Deploying technologies at scale requires not only innovation but also transformative policy and fundamentally shifting human behaviors • Reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the United States is a multi-decadal effort requiring the involvement of independent scientific institutions 2021:

  • Temporal Seismic Velocity Changes During the 2020 Rapid Inflation at Mt. Thorbjorn, Svartsengi, Iceland, Using Seismic Ambient Noise
    For the first time during modern instrumentation, we measure uplift (with GPS and satellite data) on the peninsula, and intense earthquake activity at the same time.
    Key Points:
    • Ambient noise-based temporal seismic wave velocity variations provide insights into volcanic unrest in the Reykjanes Peninsula
    • Seismic velocity drops to −1% during repeated magma intrusions
    • The evolution of dv/v (%) correlates with deformation data

  • Increasing Risk of Ecological Change to Major Rivers of the World With Global Warming
    The hydrological characteristics of a river, including the magnitude and timing of high and low flows, are important determinants of its ecological functioning. Climate change will alter these characteristics, triggering ecological changes in river ecosystems.
    Key points:
    • Nine global hydrological models forced by five global climate models provide discharges for 321 major river basins for 1–3°C mean global warming
    • An environmental flow method demonstrates increasing risks of ecological change with warming, especially for low flows
    • Risks of ecological change vary spatially, with regions most at risk including South America, southern Africa and Australia
