Printing: Háskólaprent, Fálkagata 2, 107 Reykjavík Reykjavik, Iceland, May 2015 Abstract This thesis studies the impact from electricity failure in Iceland on households and critical infrastructures. Households and critical infrastructures electricity dependence is discussed along with a theoretical identification of impacts towards these two subjects from electricity failure. Risk Assessment Plans for Iceland, Norway and Sweden are compared. The main focus of the comparison relates to how the countries focus on electricity, information and communication technologies and the role of the general public in these plans.

  • The Best of Iceland
    04_178416-ch01.qxp 5/29/08 8:59 AM Page 1 1 The Best of Iceland On each trip to Iceland, we are always struck by how often other travelers are—or intend to be—repeat visitors. Many come year after year, never exhausting Iceland’s endless variations of magnificent scenery and adventure. Returning travelers immedi- ately recognize the crisp, invigorating polar air, and what W. H. Auden called “the most magical light of anywhere on earth.” Iceland’s astonishing beauty often has an austere, primitive, or surreal cast that arouses reverence, wonderment, mystery, and awe. Lasting impressions could include a lone tuft of wildflowers amid a bleak desert moonscape or a fantastical promenade of icebergs calved into a lake from a magisterial glacier. The Icelandic people—freedom-loving, egalitarian, self-reliant, and worldly—are equally exceptional. They established a parliamentary democracy over a millennium ago, and today write, publish, purchase, and read more books per capita than any peo- ple on earth. Reykjavík, their capital, has become one of the world’s most fashionable urban hot spots. In November 2007, the U.N. named Iceland the world’s best coun- try to live in, based on life expectancy, education levels, medical care, income, and other criteria. 1 The Best Natural Wonders • Glymur: Iceland’s tallest waterfall is • Blue Lagoon: The central activity nimble and graceful: Streamlets at this spa—Iceland’s top tourist descend like ribbons of a maypole attraction—is bathing in a shallow, into a fathomless canyon mantled in opaque, blue-green lagoon amid a bird nests and lush mosses.

The Vogar Fissure Swarm, Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland: Aseismic Kinematics of an Oblique Rift Zone An Honors Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Geology Bates College In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Keegan Timothy Runnals Lewiston, Maine March, 2011 Abstract Exposure of the Mid-Atlantic ridge in Iceland offers a unique place to study hotspot-ridge interactions along an oblique rift zone. The Reykjanes Peninsula is a left lateral shear zone characterized by a series of NE striking en echelon fissure swarms oblique to the rift axis, and N-S trending dextral strike slip faults. This study focuses on the Vogar fissure swarm in southwest Iceland, in order to better constrain the mode of deformation within it. Movement of the faults and fissures that make up the fissure swarm is thought to either be related to seismic events along the ridge, or occur aseismically due to dike injections during eruptive episodes.

  • Coprophilous Fungi from Iceland
    ACTA BOT. ISL. 14: 77-102, 2004 Coprophilous fungi from Iceland Michael J. Richardson 165 Braid Road, Edinburgh EH10 6JE U.K. ABSTRACT: Eighty-one species of coprophilous fungi were recorded from 32 herbivore dung samples collected from Iceland in July 2002 and incubated in moist chambers. Almost half of the species are apparently new records for Iceland. Collections are described and the occurrence and distribution of species is discussed. The species richness of the Icelandic coprophilous mycota (lat. 64-66oN) is slightly higher than in northern UK (lat. 55-59oN). KEY WORDS: ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, biogeography, diversity, ecology, fimicoles. INTRODUCTION During a visit to Iceland in July 2002, 32 samples of herbivore dung were collected and, on return to the UK, incubated in a damp chamber. The coprophilous zygomycetes, ascomycetes and basidiomycetes which developed were recorded. There is already a quite extensive list of Icelandic coprophils. ROSTRUP (1903) contains records of 25-30 coprophilous species, LARSEN (1932) compiled records of all fungi from his own collections and those of others, especially Ólafur Davíðsson, and these include about 50-60 coprophils. CHRISTENSEN (1941) recorded agarics, including some Coprinus species. Van BRUMMELEN (1967) examined material of three Ascobolus species, but no Saccobolus, from Iceland, and LUNDQVIST (1972) listed the occurrence of nine species of Sordariaceae, of which he verified five. LAUBE (1971) also recorded some ascomycetes. These records are brought together, with others, including a list by AAS (pers. comm. to Helgi Hallgrímsson 15.12.1993, of fungi identified from a foray of the Extra Nordic Mycological Congress, 4-7th of August 1993) as part of a check-list of the Icelandic mycota by HALLGRÍMSSON & EYJÓLFSDÓTTIR (2004).

  • Samanburður Á Orkukostnaði Heimila Árið 2020
    SAMANBURÐUR Á ORKUKOSTNAÐI HEIMILA ÁRIÐ 2020 Samanburður á orkukostnaði heimila Líkt og undanfarin ár, hefur Byggðastofnun fengið Orkustofnun til að reikna út kostnað á ársgrundvelli, við raforkunotkun og húshitun á sömu fasteigninni, á nokkrum þéttbýlisstöðum og í dreifbýli. Viðmiðunareignin er einbýlishús, 140 m2 að grunnfleti og 350m3. Almenn raforkunotkun er sú raforka sem er notuð í annað en að hita upp húsnæði, s.s. ljós og heimilistæki, en miðað er við 4.500 kWst í almennri rafmagnsnotkun og 28.400 kWst við húshitun án varmadælu og 14.200 kWst með varmadælu. Gert er ráð fyrir að „loft í vatn“ varmadæla skili 50% sparnaði á raforku til húshitunar en orkusparnaðurinn er þó háður ýmsum þáttum (sjá í kaflanum Fyrirvari og aðrar upplýsingar). Árlegir útreikningar eru nú til frá árinu 2013 og eru uppfærðir eftir því sem ástæða þykir til. Við útreikninga þessa er almenn rafmagnsnotkun og fastagjald tekin saman annarsvegar og hitunarkostnaður hins vegar. Gjöldin eru reiknuð út samkvæmt gjaldskrá þann 1. september 2020. Auk staðanna sem miðað var við síðustu ár hafa 22 nýir staðir nú bæst við og ná tölur fyrir þá alla aftur til 2014. Staðirnir eru Bifröst, Brautarholt á Skeiðum, Drangsnes, Garður, Grenivík, Hofsós, Hrafnagil, Hrísey, Hvanneyri, Kjalarnes, Kópasker, Laugar í Reykjadal, Laugarvatn, Ólafsfjörður, Reykhólar, Reykjahlíð, Sandgerði, Skagaströnd, Stokkseyri, Varmahlíð, Vík í Mýrdal og Vogar.
