Most of the seismicity of Iceland is due to processes related to the mid-Atlantic plate
boundary that crosses the country (Fig. 1). These processes include transform faulting …

The purpose of this study is to describe strong-motion monitoring and accelerometric
recordings in Iceland and to highlight some basic characteristics of the tectonic regime that …

Abstract This paper describes Professor Ambraseys's work on the quantification of
magnitudes of the main events in the 1896 South Iceland earthquake sequence, using …

Iceland is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the diverging plate boundary of the North
American and Eurasian plates in the North Atlantic Ocean. Crossing the island from …

This paper presents a method to assess and quantify changes in performance states of
systems. The method is based on survey data containing performance states graded in a …

This article recapitulates the main findings of an on-going study on the spatial variability of
strong ground motion, highlighting the May 2008 Mw 6.3 Ölfus Earthquake in South Iceland …

Modern wind parks are largely built in areas where seismic risk is low. With an increased
emphasis on the use of wind power it may be assumed that wind turbines will in the future …

This article addresses the question whether or not the so-called bookshelf tectonics can
reveal a new understanding and improved modelling of earthquake behaviour in the South …

This presentation outlines a simplified response spectra based on theoretical modelling
using clearly defined seismic parameters with a clear physical reference. A special feature is …
