Kristín Jónsdóttir, Earthquake hazards coordinator at the Icelandic Met Office,
in an interview with RÚV today.A great deal of earthquake activity has been
ongoing in the peninsula in 2020. Earthquakes
of M5 were recorded in July this year, by Fagradalsfjall, just west of
where the epicenter of the M5.6 earthquake today was. Earthquake history

and were of M3,7 and 3,6. They were felt widely on the
Reykjanes peninsula and all the way to Borgarnes region. The earthquake swarm
is currently in decline. Swarms like this are common and not unusual by itself
in the area. The fact that an inflation is
occurring alongside the earthquake swarm is a cause for concern and closer
monitoring. The inflation is
centred within an active volcanic

A real-time monitoring and evaluation system, like the SIL system.
The merging of all significant information in an early information and warning system (EWIS) for automatic and manual decision making at each stage of the pre-earthquake process, which may last

which move at very high speed down the slopes of
a volcano. These density currents form when an eruption column can't maintain
its upward momentum and the column collapses and flows down the slopes of the
volcano. Another way for these density currents to form is from a collapse of a
lava dome where it generates a hot avalanche of volcanic materials rapidly
moving down the slopes

with radar.
During last week the eruption continues at a similar intensity and with similar lava flow.
The GPS station in the center of Bardarbunga is currently inactive so no data has been received over the last three
days. Repair is on the way.
21 earthquakes greater than M3.0 were recorded over the last 48 hours in or around the caldera. The largest ones
were M5.2 at 08:43 and 21:23

• Network capacity will be stretched to
accommodate new renewable generation
• Climate change introduces increased risk
of reaching thermal limits due to
temperature rises
• Dynamic rating solutions may provide

but if the
eruption keeps ongoing at a similar rate, it is modeled that the lava will flow
east towards Merardalur valley. If the volcano continues to erupt it could
eventually end up being categorized as a shield volcano. Shield volcanoes are
generally formed over long time periods with lava fields extending from a few
to several kilometers around its source. There is no way to tell how long

sheet velocity. The two most common techniques revolve around radar interferometry, and
feature tracking using radar or visible imagery. Velocity calculations from spaceborne plat-
forms, particularly for slower and/or smaller ice masses, are limited by the spatial resolution
and repeat interval of such imagery, however. In this paper, we evaluate the potential
