A suite of possible mechanisms
are calculated for each event based on polarities and spectral amplitudes. Through the joint
interpretation of fault mechanisms with the event distribution defining the fault, the slip
direction on the fault plane can be inferred. Using this kind of mapping, about 240 faults,
fault segments and small clusters, which were active in year 2000, have been mapped

The better constrained earthquakes in the
SIL earthquake catalog of the IMO (~1/3
of total) tend to have location uncertainties of ~1.0 km, which is too high for the significance level
required.. To improve location accuracy of the IMO catalog, the relative earthquake location algorithm
of Waldhauser and Ellsworth (2000) (W&E) is being applied. The algorithm minimizes measured

to 16 ± 4% of the volume of the glaciers around 1890. About half of this mass
was lost from 1994 to 2019 or 240 ± 20 Gt, which is about 9.6 ± 0.8 Gt / year
on average during that period. Vatnajökull has thinned by 45 m on average in
the period 1890–2019, Langjökull by 66 m and Hofsjökull by 56 m. This corresponds

Short summary
The background, goals and methodological framework of the project are introduced, in addition to highlighting the findings of subsequent chapters. The chapter concludes with a series of recommendations, based on the overall conclusions of the project. Chapter 1 is an ideal starting point for a quick overview of the project.
