A fundamental modeling assumption in engineering seismology is that seismic ground
motion is affected by source, propagation path and site effects. Contrary to the first two …

Knowledge of the characteristics of earthquake ground motion is fundamental for
earthquake hazard assessments. Over small distances, relative to the source–site distance …

The earthquake ground motions of over 1700 earthquakes recorded on a small-aperture
strong-motion array in south Iceland (ICEARRAY I) that is situated on a relatively uniform site …

Earthquake recordings on two small-aperture (covering∼ 1.2 km 2 each) strong-motion
arrays in Iceland (ICEARRAY I and II) exhibit considerable variations in the spatial …

Earthquake ground motion prediction in Iceland where strong-motion data is scarce poses a
challenge as empirical ground motion models (GMM) developed from data in other regions …

The ground-motion model (GMM) is a key tool of the engineering seismologist. It predicts
peak seismic ground-motion parameters given primary independent variables such as …

In Iceland, the interaction of repeated glaciation/deglaciation and fluctuating sea levels with
the dominant basaltic volcanism has formed a unique geological condition consisting of …

The Húsavík-Flatey Fault Zone (HFFZ) is one of the largest system of transform faults in
Iceland on which damaging earthquakes have repeatedly taken place. The town of Húsavík …

A reliable estimation of regional ground motion plays a critical role in probabilistic seismic
hazard analysis (PSHA). The earthquake resistant design of structures within a region of a …

Better understanding of the seismic ground motion characteristics literally leads to more
accurate early-stage damage assessments and seismic risk mitigation. In Iceland …
