NVI was responsible for Subproject 5, Active deformation determined from GPS and SAR. NVI has fulfilled its commitments in the workprogramme, with some well justified modifications in the carrying out the individual tasks.

The Subproject was divided into two Subparts, 5A and 5B.

Subpart 5A, SAR interferometry study of the South Iceland seismic zone, was managed by associated contractor Kurt Feigl of the CNRS.DTP in close cooperation with Freysteinn Sigmundsson, contractor of NVI. Subpart 5A has been carried out with some modifications as compared to the workprogramme. In accordance with the high seismic activity in the Hengill-Ölfus area at the western end of the South Iceland seismic zone, the main emphasis was on observing this activity with the SAR technology.

Subpart 5B, GPS measurements of absolute displacements, was managed by the contractor Freysteinn Sigmundsson of NVI, in cooperation with Páll Einarsson, subcontractor, UICE.SI, and with IMOR.DG. The work has basically been carried out in accordance with workprogramme although there was some reorientation of priorities in accordance with obtained results and because of necessary concentration of activities to the Hengill-Ölfus area because of the intensive seismic and deformation processes there.
