Svæða-, staðar- og farvegaskipting fyrir ofanflóð í samræmi við ofanflóðaskráningarkerfi Veðurstofu Íslands. Um er að ræða stigskiptingu (hierarchy) þar sem landinu er skipt niður í staði, hverjum stað svo niður í svæði og innan svæða eru svo afmarkaðir algengir farvegir ofanflóða.

Corine Land Cover (CLC) 2018 and CLC change 2012-2018 are two of the datasets produced within the frame of the Initial Operations of the Copernicus programme (the European Earth monitoring programme previously known as GMES) on land monitoring.Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000, 2006. 2012 and now 2018. CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries – following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares. The resulting national land cover inventories are further integrated into a seamless land cover map of Europe. Land cover and land use (LCLU) information is important not only for land change research, but also more broadly for the monitoring of environmental change, policy support, the creation of environmental indicators and reporting. CLC datasets provide important datasets supporting the implementation of key priority areas of the Environment Action Programmes of the European Union as protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing development in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, among others.

Þekja (layer) j100v_austurland_millilog_1utg_li:: Gjóskulög á Austfjörðum. [Tuff layers in Eastern Iceland.] Línur sýna staðsetningu stærstu gjóskulagana á Austfjörðum. Gjóskulögin eru fengin úr ýmsum kortum og kortlagningu Birgis V. Óskarssonar. Gögn eru flokkuð eftir ÍST120:2012 staðlinum, nema þrjá fitjueigindir: myndunKodi = Heiti myndunarinnar (skammstöfun) myndunIS = Heiti myndunarinnar (á íslenskuc) myndunEN = Heiti myndunarinnart (á ensku) [Lines show the location of largest tuff deposits in Eastern Iceland. The tuff layers are derived from older maps and the mapping of Birgir V. Óskarsson. The data follows the ÍST120:2012 data standard with the three additional feature attributes: myndunKodi = Lithostratigraphic unit (abbreviation) myndunIS = Lithostratigraphic unit (in Icelandic) myndunEN = Lithostratigraphic unit (in English)]

Gögnin voru tekin saman í byrjun árs 2015. Þau eru sett saman úr dýptarlínum úr sjókortum í tveimur mælikvörðum. Annars vegar í 1:100.000 og hins vegar í 1:300.000. Dýptarlínur í sjókortum eru ekki með jöfnu bili. Dýptarlínurnar eru þessar: 10 m, 20 m, 50 m, 75 m, 100 m, 150 m, 200 m, 300 m, 400 m, 500 m, 1000 m, 1500 m og 2000 m. Landhelgisgæsla Íslands safnaði gögnunum og annast um drefingu. Gögnin ná ekki til alls landsins. Helstu eigindi eru jafndýpislínur með dýpisgildi. Um er að ræða stök kort eða samsett í stærri heild á shape formi.

Dreifing hvítabjarna sem sést hafa á Íslandi í mismunandi mælihvarði. Þekja ni_G500v_hvitabjorn, punktalag. [Distribution of polar bear sightings in Iceland in different scales. Point layer ni_G500v_hvitabjorn.] Ekki er hægt að tala um hvítabirni sem íslenska tegund en þó hafa þeir tekið hér land af og til og teljast því til flökkudýra. Upplýsingar eru til um rúmlega 560 hvítabirni sem skráðir hafa verið hérlendis frá upphafi landnáms. Síðast varð vart við hvítabjörn við Höfðaströnd í Jökulfjörðum 2024. Viss ónákvæmni er þarna um að ræða því vafalaust hafa einhver dýr gengið hér á land án þess að menn hafi haft þar vitneskju um eða skráð sérstaklega. [Polar bears are not native to Iceland, although they do occasionally turn up in Iceland and are thus classified as vagrants. Information exists on just over 560 polar bears recorded as having arrived in Iceland from the beginning of human settlement on the island to the present day. This is a somewhat imprecise figure, since polar bears have undoubtedly come ashore without their presence going noticed, while bear sightings and encounters were not always documented in the past. The last polar bear observation was at Höfðaströnd, Jökulfjörður, Westfjords, in 2024. Table entries are in Icelandic.] Nákvæmni tíma [Accuracy of time]: varies depending on the source. If only the year of the sighting is known, you find this year under fitjueigindi 'ártal 1' (artal1). In case there are more details known, there are as well entries for fitjueigindir 'dags hvítabjarnakomur' (dagsHvitabjarnakomur) or 'ártið' (artid). If the year is not quite definit, there is an entry in fitjueigindi 'um' (um). Entries in both fitjueigindir 'ártal 1' and 'ártal 2' (artal1, artal2) define a timespan for the sighting. Nákvæmni staðarins [Accuracy of location]: varies depending on the source. All sightings for Íceland are grouped in the center of Iceland and the value for fitjueiginde 'nákvæmni XY' (nakvaemniXY) is '9000'. Sightings for Norðurland are grouped on Tröllaskagi, sightings for Norðvestur are placed in the center of the Vestfjords, sightings on Melrakki are grouped just off the north coast (nakvaemniXY = 3000 or 2000). If only the area is know, the data is placed in the center of the corresponding 10-km-reit (nakvaemniXY = 1000). If the location is known in detail, t.d. bæ, the entry for 'nakvaemniXY' is '100'. Sometimes the sources do not state the location of the sighting but the farm where the animal was processed [unnin]. And one has to keep in mind that a 'dot' in the data set can also represent an animal that has been in Iceland for a longer period of time and has traveled a longer distance. If there are several sightings for the same place or area, the entries are scatterd using a 1-km-reit system. Entries on age, sex, and size or weight are often missing. Fitjueigindi 'RM númer' (RMnumer) corresponds with the Natural History Collection of Náttúrufræðistofnun.

Riparian zones represent transitional areas occurring between land and freshwater ecosystems, characterised by distinctive hydrology, soil and biotic conditions and strongly influenced by the stream water. They provide a wide range of riparian functions (e.g. chemical filtration, flood control, bank stabilization, aquatic life and riparian wildlife support, etc.) and ecosystem services. The Riparian Zones products will support the objectives of several European legal acts and policy initiatives, such as the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, the Habitats and Birds Directives and the Water Framework Directive. Land Cover/Land Use (LC/LU) classification is tailored to the needs of biodiversity monitoring in a tailored buffer zone along large and medium-sized European rivers (with Strahler levels 3-8 derived from EU-Hydro). LC/LU is extracted from VHR satellite data and other available data in a buffer zone of selected rivers. The classes follow the pre-defined nomenclature on the basis of MAES typology of ecosystems (Level 1 to Level 4) and Corine Land Cover, providing 80 distinct thematic classes with a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 0.5 ha and a Minimum Mapping Width (MMW) of 10 m. The production of the Riparian Zones products was coordinated by the European Environment Agency in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.
