"There's tremendous change all around us," says Matthew J. Roberts, glaciologist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, in an interview taken on Solheimajokull. "This is a type-site for glacial retreat in Iceland and, in fact, globally."
Sólheimajökull is one of several valley glaciers extending

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

than 30,000 earthquakes at 5–7 km depth, advancing in short bursts at 0.3–4.7 km/h. Following each
surge forward, the seismicity behind the dyke tip dropped, implying that the subsequent dyke opening
was mostly aseismic. More detailed analyses of the seismic data recorded by a dense network around
the Vatnajökull icecap have revealed small magnitude, long-period (LP or B-type) events which

of this type may represent a serious risk if they occur in tourist spots such as the Askja region.
We present observations of the July 21st, 2014 event as recorded by the national infrasonic arrays
network installed in the country within the FUTUREVOLC European project. Infrasound released by
the event was recorded at a distance of 210 km from Askja volcano.
We performed 2D FDTD modeling

tectonic structures are sets of parallel, northerly striking transcurrent faults that generate the largest
earthquakes in this zone, up to M 6.5. Their surface expressions are en echelon fracture arrays and
push-up structures. The sense of displacement is right-lateral. The distance between them varies from
0.5 to 5 km, and together they form a bookshelf-type fault system taking up the left
