The considerable effects that wind can have on estimates of mass eruption rates (MERs) in explosive eruptions based on volcanic plume height are well known but difficult to quantify rigorously. Many explicitly wind-affected plume models have the ...

The doctoral research project underpinning this dissertation was aimed at developing a
deeper understanding of cognitive activation in mathematics teaching in Iceland and in
a Nordic context through classroom video observations and student perceptions. ...
The Geldingadalur eruption in the Reykjanes Peninsula on 19 March 2021 was
preceded by several earthquakes of volcano-tectonic origin throughout 2020 and 2021.
Seven earthquakes with magnitude M≥5 took place during the swarm, all of them recorded by ...

Seismicity in Iceland is related to the Mid-Atlantic plate boundary and primarily
consolidated in two complex fracture zones. Liquefaction was observed after the Mw 6.3 Ölfus earthquake in 2008 at the site Arnarbaeli. The site consists of a thick silty ...
Two-year old children often express their understanding and intentions
through embodied interactions as they co-produce social relationships.
This article presents findings from an ethnomethodological study using
conversation analysis to explore ...

The transition to primary school has been identified as a critical event in the lives of children that can have long term implications for their learning and development. The transition to primary school is also widely regarded as an emotional period ...
Iceland is the most seismically active region in northern Europe and damaging earthquakes repeatedly occur in the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ), a relatively densely populated region accommodating all critical infrastructures and lifelines. The ...
An Mw6.30 earthquake occurred in south Iceland in May 2008. The epicentre and fault
rupture occurred close to small villages and farms, affecting over 5000 residential buildings. Despite significant damage, no residential buildings collapsed. It is ...

Viðfangsefni doktorsritgerðarinnar er að draga fram heimildasöfn (e. archives) og greina þá efnismenningu (e. material culture) sem þau búa yfir, eða með öðrum orðum að kanna samband manna og hluta. Rannsóknaraðferðin krefst þess að víða sé leitað fanga ...
The earthquake hazard in Iceland is highest in its two transform zones, the South
Iceland Seismic Zone in the South and the Tjörnes Fracture Zone in the North and the reliable probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) is the prerequisite for the ...

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 ...

With increasing renewable energy infrastructure (REI) developments and growing nature-based tourism (NBT), their encounters are becoming more likely. To facilitate sustainable
development of both, it is important to gain more knowledge on the ...

Unlike collecting, preserving, educating and displaying, research is rarely thought of as a core activity in museums. However, it is one of the formal requirements museums must fulfil according to international standards. It is also the most ambiguous ...

Literary translation means not only transition from a source text to a target text, but also reconstruction of contexts in the target text as much close as to those with the source text. Although the accepted view that there is no absolute in literary ...
Real-time monitoring of volcanic ash plumes with the aim to estimate the mass eruption rate is crucial for predicting atmospheric ash concentration. Mass eruption rates are usually assessed by 0D and 1D plume models, which are fast and require only a ...
Analyzing video data from an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) of two short-lived dome building events at Anak Krakatau volcano (Indonesia), we determine vertical and horizontal movements of the dome surface prior to explosions, as well as initial eruption ...

The increasing global demand for renewable energy has resulted in the increased
exploration of geothermal energy resources, which presents corrosion and wear challenges. The objective of the PhD project is to investigate the friction, wear and corrosion ...
