  • Lévy, Léa (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 ...
  • Heřmanská, Matylda (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2020-03)
    Supercritical fluids have been reported from both rift and subduction-related geothermal systems. They typically form in the vicinity of magmatic intrusions at the roots of geothermal systems upon conductive heating and boiling of the subcritical ...
  • Kristbjornsdottir, Adalbjorg (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2016-12)
    Background and aims: Previous studies in geothermal and volcanic areas have shown high risk of certain types of cancers. The aim was to study the association between residence in geothermal areas and the incidence and mortality of cancer in ...
  • Karlsdottir, Marta (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, 2021-06)
    Geothermal energy utilization contributes to less than 0.5% of the world’s electricity demand and is not well represented in energy policies and environmental studies of energy systems. Research on geothermal potential and environmental impacts shows ...
  • Neely, Rebecca Anna (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2017)
    Molybdenum isotopes are used to quantify changes in Earth’s paleoredox conditions but their application relies upon a simplified model in which rivers dominate the ocean input with minor contributions from hydrothermal fluids. The effect of groundwater ...
  • Cook, David (University of Iceland, School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Economics, 2018)
    Enhanced understanding and knowledge concerning a nation’s environmental sustainability performance is necessary to ensure the longterm flourishing capacities of economies and critical to the maintenance of human well-being, particularly through the ...
  • Lichoro, Charles Muturia (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-12-13)
    An extensive geophysical survey comprising over 400 MT and 515 gravity stations on the Korosi, Paka and Silali volcanoes in the northern Kenya rift was conducted in order to assess the occurrence of geothermal resources in the context of the geophysics ...
  • Reynolds, Hannah Iona (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2017-12-18)
    Thermal anomalies are observed at many volcanoes, resulting from geothermal and magmatic activity, and are usually difficult to quantify since the measurement of heat fluxes from the ground to the atmosphere is subject to large uncertainties. However, ...
  • Spittler, Nathalie (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2019-12)
    A holistic understanding of the underlying dynamics of sustainable energy system development and its effects on socio-economic and environmental aspects, in different national contexts, is necessary for improved decision making with regards to sustainable ...
