This research is a geographic exploration of the physical and societal components of flood risk in the Ölfusá basin, Southern Iceland. Two specific aspects were investigated: - Impact of ice jams on the extent, boundaries, and depth of historical floods; - Public perception of flood hazard and flood risk and public preferences in the management of flood risk in the town of Selfoss. The research on historical floods indicates that discharge at gauging sites is not a reliable parameter for flood hazard mapping, as the extent and boundaries of ice-jam floods depend essentially on the location and nature of ice jams that form at specific sections of the Hvítá-Ölfusá river complex. Accurate delineation of flood hazard zones is accessible wi...
