The contractor Reynir Bödvarsson, UUPP.DGEO, has fulfilled its commitments in the workprogramme, although experience during the period and obtained results have influenced the priorities on individual tasks. Most of the tasks of the project (Tasks 1, 3, 4 and 6) have been finalized some with results beyond expectations. Task 2, Methods for monitoring the crustal wave velocities based on microearthquake monitoring, has been very successful in discovering anomalies in the 3-dimensional wave velocity structure which are of enormous significance in understanding the physics of the earthquake zones. This is also a good basis for being able to see possible changes in velocity from microearthquakes, and to understand such possible changes. Task 5, Methods for statistical analysis of the space/time distribution of microearthquakes and earthquakes, has had good results as far as concerns the studies of several datasets in some areas. However, the delay in having an easily accessible database available, especially for all the 7 years of the SIL system, still delays pattern recognition work in the dataset as a whole. Thus the approach has been more a physical approach rather than that of discovering general patterns in the dataset. Besides the defined tasks of the workprogramme the contractor has provided significant work in software upgrading of the seismic system which was necessary because of the enormous extension of the SIL acquisition and evaluation system both geographically and in collection of data. This work is very significant for the PRENLAB project as a whole and its continuation.
In all tasks above the closest cooperator was IMOR.DG. Especially concerning continuous GPS the NVI has been the close cooperator, and there has also been much cooperation with UEDIN.DGG in studying shear-wave splitting.
