The targets

In general, with these models, the subproject aims:

• To achieve a better understanding of the distribution of seismicity in space and time, its clustering and migration in Iceland.
• To provide models for the joint interpretation of the data gathered in the whole research programme, of which this is one part.
• To compare models of stress fields at SISZ to those for stress fields in other regions, e.g. the North Anatolian fault zone.
• To make a contribution to the intermediate-term earthquake prediction in this populated and economically important region of Iceland.
