(Hið íslenska náttúrufræðifélag, 1997)Heitur reitur er landsvæði sem einkennist af mikilli eldvirkni og jarðhita og stendur hátt yfir umhverfið. Ísland er einn af stærstu heitu reitum jarðar og gnæfir 2-4 km yfir venjulega hæð Norður-Atlantshafshryggjarins sem gengur í gegnum landið. Markmið ... -
Advances in archaeomagnetic dating in Britain: New data, new approaches and a new calibration curve (Elsevier BV, 2017-09)Archaeomagnetic dating offers a valuable chronological tool for archaeological investigations, particularly for dating fired material. The method depends on the establishment of a dated record of secular variation of the Earth's magnetic field and this ...
-
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 1993-07)Cross-borehole tomography suffers from a well-known problem of data incompleteness: the limited ray coverage dictated by the poor experimental geometry implies that certain features of the velocity field are not determined by the data. Construction of ...

(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018-03-08)The iron oxyhydroxide goethite is unstable at elevated temperatures and can transform to magnetite under reducing conditions. In this study, various heating experiments were conducted to simulate Fe-mineral transformations during pyrogenic or burial ...
-
(Geological Society of America, 2017-11-16)Primitive basalt melt inclusions from Borgarhraun, northern Iceland, display large correlated variations in CO2 and nonvolatile incompatible trace elements (ITEs) such as Nb, Th, Rb, and Ba. The average CO2/ITE ratios of the Borgarhraun melt inclusion ...
-
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1998-12)The crustal structure of central Iceland is modelled using data from a 310 km long refraction profile shot during summer 1995. The profile traversed Iceland from the Skagi Peninsula on the north coast (surface rocks of age 8.5–0.8 Myr) to the southeast ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2018-01)Deformation of geothermal reservoirs is a growing topic in the field of crustal deformation research. The deformation behavior of a geothermal resource can give us insight about its sustainability and can help to increase our understanding of reservoir ...
-
(Elsevier BV, 2019-03-01)Andisols are carbon-rich soils that persist in volcanic regions with cool climates. They are the main soil type in Iceland, where there are also large areas of premature or degraded mineral soils with the possible potential to become andisols. This ...

(The Seismological Society of America, 1999)The mantle electromagnetic and tomography (MELT) experiment on the east Pacific rise near 17°S was the first large teleseismic experiment on a midocean ridge. During the six-month deployment, no compressional arrivals were well recorded above 0.5 ...
-
(Paris Sciences et Lettres, Laboratoire de Géologie de l'Ecole Normale Supérieure and University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-04)The electrical signature of volcanoes is affected by several characteristics of rocks: volume and salinity of pore fluid, abundance of conductive minerals, rock temperature and presence of molten crust (magma). Electromagnetic soundings are widely used ...
-
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2018-03-10)We propose a framework using water vapor isotopes to study mixing processes in the marine boundary layer (MBL) during quiescent conditions, where we expect evaporation to contribute to the moisture budget. This framework complements the existing models, ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2023-01-06)The volcanic island of Surtsey, off the south coast of Iceland, was formed by shallow ocean-emergent basaltic volcanism in 1963-1967. There were several episodes of activity, migrating between five vents (Surtur, Surtla, Surtungur, Syrtlingur and Jólnir) ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-06-28)Iceland is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and is the surface exposure of the ridge system on land. The influence of the plume has been shown to reach towards the south at least as far as the Bight Transform Fault. The ridge system in Iceland has ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2022-12)Post-eruptive deformation following volcanic eruptions may originate from continued magma movements, or reflect delayed and continued Earth adjustment due to co-eruptive events, often referred to as viscoelastic relaxation. Post-eruptive deformation ...
-
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1996-12-01)P‐to‐S conversions from the two primary discontinuities near 410 and 660 km depth (P410s and P660s phases) are evident in particle motions and receiver functions of teleseismic body waves recorded by broadband seismic stations in Iceland. The average ...
-
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020-04-30)Lake Myvatn, Iceland, is one of the most biologically productive lakes in the northern hemisphere, despite seasonal ice cover. Hydrothermal and groundwater springs make up the dominant source to this lake, and we investigate their Mg isotope ratio to ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1996-03-01)We present results from the first stage of the ICEMELT broadband seismometer experiment designed to determine upper mantle structure beneath Iceland, a hotspot located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Relative delays of teleseismic body waves across Iceland ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2020-05-15)This study focused on the tectono-magmatic reconstruction of the Jan Mayen microcontinent (JMMC) and Iceland Plateau Rift (IPR) in context to the breakup and opening processes of the Northeast Atlantic region. Joint interpretation of densely spaced ...
-
(Hið íslenzka náttúrufræðifélag, 1976)Larger earthquakes in Iceland occur mainly in two zones, a narrow E-W trending zone in S-Iceland and 75 km broad zone off the northern coast. Destruction and ground displacement due to the earthquake sequences of J784 (Ms 7.5-8), 1896 Mg 7-7.5) and ...

(Elsevier BV, 2017-06)The 6-month long eruption at Holuhraun (August 2014–February 2015) in the Bárðarbunga-Veiðivötn volcanic system was the largest effusive eruption in Iceland since the 1783–1784 CE Laki eruption. The lava flow field covered ~84 km2 and has an estimated ...
