IMOR.DG coordinated the PRENLAB project and was responsible for Subproject 1, Real-time evaluation of earthquake-related-processes and development of database. The comitments of the PRENLAB workprogramme as a whole have been fulfilled as detailed below.
The coordinator and contractor was Ragnar Stefánsson. IMOR.DG was responsible for a significant extension of the seismic network available for the project and for operating it. It has done extensive work in extending, refining and standardizing the earthquake databases as well as related databases on slow changes, where continuous borehole strainmeters were most significant. It served the other subprojects with data from these databases. It is also responsible for projects in mapping of active faults, in studying seismicity patterns, in enhancing the alert system in Iceland, for installing and testing new algorithms for data acquisition and for enhancing the automatic evaluation processes. It cooperated closely with all the other subprojects, and through its coordination all the subprojects were well linked together.
Work has been carried out on all tasks according to the time schedule of the workprogramme, although the needs of other partners for an easy access to parts of a new and refined database are ahead of the intensive work going on with refining it. On the other hand the database which it has collected and which it is working on to make it more easily accessible is much larger than originally expected.
