UUPP.DGEO was responsible for Subproject 2, Applying new methods using microearthquakes for monitoring crustal instability.

The contractor, Reynir Böðvarsson, has fulfilled his commitments according to the schedule of the workprogramme. As detailed in the first annual report of PRENLAB-2 all tasks were carried out according to schedule except Task 4, which has not been carried out in the way which was planned. The Task was implementation of these new methods in a second EU country with high seismic risk. The plan was to implement these methods within the Seismological Laboratory, University of Patras in Greece. However, the leading scientist in Patras, which was a contact person in this cooperation moved to a new position in Athens, and it has not been successful so far to re-establish the practical contact for carrying out the implementation. On the other hand the necessary preparations for being able to apply the SIL procedures at other sites have been in good advance by the contractor, both in cooperation with Subproject 1 but also in connection with the build-up of a SIL system in Sweden. The build-up of the SIL system in Sweden has to be considered a great advance for the Subproject and will further make it more feasible to export the SIL procedures to other sites.

During the second half of the project period significant new methods and algorithms have been developed by the contractor which integrate the development within the various tasks of the Subproject.

In all tasks above the closest cooperator was IMOR.DG. There has also been cooperation with UEDIN.DGG in using microearthquakes for studying shear-wave splitting.
