of the earthquake fault in Ölfus
30.5.2008
The map shows the location of the damaging earthquake that struck yesterday afternoon. Most movement took place along the fault shown in green.
The black arrows denote right-lateral, strike-slip faulting. The same type/about-imo/news/nr/1312
The first map shows cloud cover measurements at a few stations in Iceland, along with information about cloud type and lowest cloud altitude (see following diagram). This information can be useful in evaluating the quality of the forecast.
Cloud cover observations are made every three hours at a few stations in Iceland. The latest observation is shown

of the glaciers at their maximum at the end of the Little Ice Age (about 1890) and also at the end of the 20th century. On the map surge-type glaciers are distinguished from non-surge-type glaciers with a darker green color. A symbol shows volcanic calderas which are located underneath the glaciers. Also shown are place-names of all of the glaciers that have been given names.

a public good based on individual preferences, and provides insights into the type of indi-
viduals who best serve the social interest and those to avoid in institutional settings. This
distinction helps us to understand why, with the same incentives, the provision of public
goods works better in some populations than in others. In addition, our use of a sequential

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
