    Assessing the depth resolution of tomographic models of upper mantle structure beneath Iceland 
    Wolfe, Cecily J.; Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur; VanDecar, John C.; Solomon, Sean C. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2002)
    Earlier inversions of body wave delay-time data recorded during the ICEMELT portable broadband experiment imaged a cylindrical plume-like low-velocity anomaly extending to at least 400 km depth beneath Iceland, but the depth extent of the anomaly ...

    Crustal structure above the Iceland mantle plume imaged by the ICEMELT refraction profile 
    Darbyshire, Fiona A.; Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur; White, Robert S.; Flóvenz, Ólafur G. (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 ...

    An Iceland hotspot saga 
    Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur (Iceland Glaciological Society and Geoscience Society of IcelandJöklarannsóknafélags Íslands og Jarðfræðafélags Íslands, 2008)
    Is Iceland a hotspot, with ridge-centered plume? In Iceland vigorous volcanism has built up a plateau 3.0 km higher than at a normal mid-ocean ridge with 3 to 4 times thicker crust than average oceanic crust. This volcanism can be associated with ...

    Seismic evidence for a tilted mantle plume and north–south mantle flow beneath Iceland 
    Shen, Yang; Solomon, Sean C.; Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur; Nolet, Guust; Morgan, W.Jason; Allen, Richard M.; Vogfjörð, Kristín; Jakobsdóttir, Steinunn; Stefánsson, Ragnar; Julian, B.R.; Foulger, G.R. (Elsevier BV, 2002-04)
    Shear waves converted from compressional waves at mantle discontinuities near 410- and 660-km depth recorded by two broadband seismic experiments in Iceland reveal that the center of an area of anomalously thin mantle transition zone lies at least 100 ...

    Temporal evolution of primordial tungsten-182 and 3He/4He signatures in the Iceland mantle plume 
    Mundl-Petermeier, A.; Walker, R.J.; Jackson, M.G.; Blichert-Toft, J.; Kurz, M.D.; Halldórsson, Sæmundur Ari (Elsevier BV, 2019-10-20)
    Studies of short-lived radiogenic isotope systems and noble gas isotopic compositions of plume-derived rocks suggest the existence of primordial domains in Earth's present-day mantle. Tungsten-182 anomalies together with high 3He/4He in Phanerozoic ...
