Iceland, rising to more than 2 km above sea level, originates from the interaction of a mid-
oceanic ridge and excessive mantle upwelling. The plate boundary between the North …

This book provides a summary of geodynamic results from Iceland that presently are found
in a great number of scientific articles, but have not been collected before in a book. The …

We present the first detailed estimates of co-seismic slip distribution on faults in the South
Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ), an area of bookshelf tectonics. We have estimated source …

The 2021 Fagradalsfjall volcanic eruption in the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland, was followed
by effusive lava outflow lasting six months. It was preceded by an intensive earthquake …

On 2008 May 29 an earthquake doublet shook the southwestern part of Iceland. The first
main shock originated beneath Mt Ingólfsfjall, located near the western margin of the South …

Abstract<? A3B2 twb=. 3w?> Large earthquakes are sometimes observed to trigger other
large earthquakes on nearby faults. The magnitudes of the calculated Coulomb stress …

We investigate how surface load variations around volcanoes act on shallow magma
chambers. Numerical calculations are carried out in axisymmetric geometry for an elliptical …

Global warming causes retreat of ice caps and ice sheets. Can melting glaciers trigger
increased volcanic activity? Since 1890 the largest ice cap of Iceland, Vatnajökull, with an …

Geologic structure plays an important role in controlling fluid flow in geothermal systems. In
particular, very complex structural settings, consisting of many closely spaced and …

Induced seismicity is often associated with fluid injection but only rarely linked to surface
deformation. At the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant in south-west Iceland we observe up …
