people reported affected2 per decade rose by 1200%, from
approximately 38 thousand to 480 thousand. Meanwhile,
the total cost of reported damage3 doubled, from US$ 1.2
billion to US$ 2.4 billion (2006 prices), although this could
partially be explained by a higher density or vulnerability
of infrastructure and areas being used by humans. More

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-

nearly one thousand events. In comparison, during the 8 year period between 1978 and
1985 only 3 events were detected in Eyjafjallajökull by the analogue, single component
Icelandic Seismograph Network (Einarsson and Brandsdóttir, 2000).
Three main seismic swarms have been recorded in Eyjafjallajökull during

through relative relocation of over 50 thousand manually located microearthquakes. A
selection of representative events from this database is used to construct a library, against
which all new events will be compared. The selection is made on the basis of small relative
location error of events on already mapped faults and small absolute error of other events.

capital, Reykjavík, to the WVZ and the SISZ, however subjects tens of thousands of people to
moderate effects of shaking. Major power-lines to the capital, telecommunications and roads

; Quante and Colijn, 2016). The global mean sea
level rise of last century and early 21st century was fast (see table 1) and strong evidence suggest that
the 20th century sea level rise rate is faster than in the previous two thousand years (Church, Clark,
et al., 2013). It is estimated to have been 1.7 0.2 mm/yr from 1901-2010, resulting in 19 (17-21)

The archipelago has formed over the last 70–120 thousand years and the currently visible
features were produced during volcanic eruptions during the last 14–20 ka (Höskuldsson et al.,
2013). There are currently between 15–18 islands and skerries and 45–75 submarine peaks
(differing based on definition used while counting). In this work
