Most of the Earth's crust is created along 60,000 km of mid-ocean ridge system. Here,
tectonic plates spread apart and, in doing so, gradually build up stress. This stress is …

This paper provides a review of the progress in regard to the InSAR remote sensing
technique and its applications in earth and environmental sciences, especially in the past …

Seafloor spreading centres show a regular along-axis segmentation thought to be produced
by a segmented magma supply in the passively upwelling mantle,. On the other hand …

Calderas are among the most active and dangerous volcanoes. Caldera unrest is defined by
enhanced seismicity, gravity changes, surface deformation, and degassing. Although much …

Twenty years of continuous Earth observation by satellite SAR have resulted in numerous
new insights into active volcanism, including a better understanding of subsurface magma …

This book provides a summary of geodynamic results from Iceland that presently are found
in a great number of scientific articles, but have not been collected before in a book. The …

Although fault and magmatic processes have achieved plate spreading at mid-ocean ridges
throughout Earth's history, discrete rifting episodes have rarely been observed. This paper …

Iceland is one of the few places on Earth where a divergent plate boundary can be observed
on land. Direct observations of crustal deformation for the whole country are available for the …

Advancing our knowledge of caldera volcanoes enables better assessment of hazard and
more efficient harnessing of resources. In this paper we review developments in concepts of …

Here we review the achievements of volcano geodesy in Iceland during the last 15 years.
Extensive measurements of crustal deformation have been conducted using a variety of …
