Meetings and workshops

The results and progress of the project were demonstrated and discussed at internal PRENLAB-2 workshops and at other workshops, and international scientific conferences, some coinciding with the PRENLAB workshops, others not.

• A whole day planning workshop was organized during the XXIII EGS General Assembly in Nice, France, April 20-24, 1998.

The workshop was also attended by representatives from the Húsavík community. The main topics of the workshop were to discuss the probability of a possibly impending destructive earthquake near Húsavík and action to be taken for research in the area as well as for enhancing the basis for providing warnings by increased monitoring.
