About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is really a review of earthquake research in Iceland … focusing on the issue of earthquake prediction in the specific seismic region called the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ), located in the South Iceland lowland (SIL). … the book presents perhaps the best study of bookshelf tectonics ever performed. It is also a uniquely detailed study of seismicity of a ridge region, namely the SISZ, based on both historical and instrumental observations.” (Pawel Wiejacz, Pure and Applied Geophysics, November, 2012)Authors and Affiliations
