Episode 91 - EMERGE PROJECT: NATURAL HAZARDS AND THREATS IN ICELAND

Today, RÚV English looks at a hazards and climate conference, hosted at the Icelandic Met Office last month.

The EMERGE project was created to look at the regional and remote aspects of a changing climate from the perspective of natural hazards, in a variety of northern countries, including Iceland.

Dr. Chris White, from the University of Strathclyde, Head of the Centre for Water, Environment, Sustainability and Public Health at the University

Matthew Roberts, Managing Director of Service and Research at the Icelandic Met Office

Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson, Professor of Geophysics at the University of Iceland
