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 geological setting of Iceland is unusual, with highly jointed rock mass, loose sediments
created in glacial outburst floods and eruptions, and layers of lava rock embedded in or …

Local geological, geotechnical and/or man-made site conditions can greatly increase the
intensity and character of earthquake shaking and thus the extent and type of structural …

Local site conditions can greatly increase the intensity and character of earthquake shaking

In Iceland, the most seismically active region in northern Europe, large earthquakes occur
almost exclusively in two major fracture zones, the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ) in the …
