1 Abstract
Between 1991 and August 2006, 860 earthquakes in Eyjafjallajökull volcano, South
Iceland were recorded by the SIL national seismic network. These earthquakes have been
relocated using a relative, double-difference location method and their source mechanisms
recalculated. The spatial and temporal seismicity pattern is analysed, as well as the
distribution of focal

to “bookshelf” type
faulting. In June 2000, two large earthquakes of magnitudes ML6.4 and ML6.5 struck in the
SISZ, three and a half days and approximately 17 km apart. Seismicity greatly increased in
all Southwest Iceland and during 2000, roughly nineteen thousand microearthquakes were
recorded there. The aim of this research is to relocate the earthquakes using a double-
difference relative

One of the key innovative features of this approach is the integration of a scaled
(single/double/triple) helical learning model that embeds adaptive management
principles. This creates the potential for the evolution of institutions to respond to
changing socio-technical regimes. (Jaroszweski, Chapman, & Petts, 2010)

4.4. How can BNs support the transition from the currently
prevailing regimes of river basin water management into
more adaptive regimes that are better able to deal with
changing conditions?
It takes some effort to explain what we mean by this
question to the water managers. To give an example of how
we understand AM, we use the double loop learning
