Plate boundaries are the most active, unstable and hazardous areas on Earth. The aim of
this study is twofold. 1) Provide an overview of the main structural features along divergent …

There are 20 known high-temperature geothermal areas in Iceland and another eight
potential areas. Surface manifestations are meagre in these eight areas and not conclusive …

Morphological and structural data from the whole Tharsis province suggest that a number of
shallow grabens radially oriented about the Tharsis bulge on Mars are underlain by dykes …

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 …

Field and photogeological studies were made of 90 zones of interacting fracture segments
along the rift zone of Iceland. Each zone consists of a pair of extension fractures or a pair of …

Crustal deformation in the plate boundary regions in south Iceland is estimated from
repeated Global Positioning System (GPS) geodetic measurements in the period 1986 …

The volcanic rift zone in Iceland is characterized by elongate volcanic systems, consisting of
tension fractures, normal faults and volcanic fissures, where most of the volcanotectonic …

There are two main ocean-ridge discontinuities in Iceland: the Tjörnes Fracture Zone (TFZ)
and the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ). The TFZ is a 120-km-long and as much as 70 …

A review and assessment of data pertaining to the origin and nature of low-temperature
geothermal activity in Iceland are presented. This activity is widely distributed in Quaternary …

Recent studies highlight the importance of annual‐scale dike‐induced rifting episodes in
develo** normal faults and graben along the active axis of magmatic divergent plate …
