and minimize the victims of earthquakes. The trial in L'Aquila condemns some of IASPEI's most brilliant scientists, who have dedicated their lives to the reduction of seismic risk. IASPEI is confident that the L'Aquila case will provide the opportunity to develop a proper link between science, policy makers and society in order to avoid any type of miscommunication of information and scientific knowledge

event classification is done after the application of signal filter(s) by visually studying the
seismograms and various computed spectrograms. In this work an alternative sense, the sense of
hearing, is applied in seismic analysis.
The key issue is that seismic signal must be modified in order to make it audible. Frequencies used in
seismic analysis typically range from tens

In the evening of 21 July 2014, a large rockslide occurred in Askja, which descended into the
caldera lake (Lake Öskjuvatn). The slide was released from the southeastern caldera wall in
an area called “Suðurbotnar”. It is one of the largest known rockslides since the settlement of
Iceland. The slide covered

A new and highly effective supercomputer is up and running at Bústaðavegur 7 in Reykjavík.
In order to fulfill environmental requirements, the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) approached the Icelandic

in Iceland closely 24/7 through real-time measurements of
earthquakes, GPS and other data. In case of a sudden change in the
activity, the IMO specialists alarm the Civil Protection authorities
immediately which act if considered necessary in order to
respond to a possible emergency. Due to the recent seismic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula, the

During the last 2–3 days, the plume has been darker and wider than in the preceding week.
Tephra fall-out in the vicinity of Eyjafjallajökull has increased. From the location of the
steam plume over Gígjökull, lava has advanced over 3 km north of the eruption. Steam
plumes over the glacier edge from 19:40 GMT suggest that lava may have advanced even
further. A rough order-of-magnitude

decrease in geothermal activity since last December.The source causing the inflation is
most likely injection of new magma. The volume change since the start of the
unrest is of the order of magnitude of 10 million m3 (about 0.2 m3/sec)
comparable to the intrusion activity in Eyjafjallajökull some years before the
eruption in 2010.New resistivity measurements indicate
