$\fbox{6}$ Effects of stress fields and crustal fluids on the development and sealing of seismogenic faults

Paleostress fields associated with the test areas from fault-slip data
Reconstruct the current stress fields associated with the test areas applying inversion of large sets of focal mechanisms of earthquakes.
Geodetic analysis of present day crustal displacements.
Investigation of the potential effects of fluid pressure on the probability of faulting
Detailed analysis of the Tjörnes fracture zone test site and its vicinity
Analysing the fracture properties of Icelandic rock in the laboratory and to make theoretical, observational and experimental studies on the sealing of seismogenic faults with application to the test areas in Iceland
