In earthquake engineering the estimation of the impact of subsoil characteristics on site effects, and
modeling the distribution of ground motion amplitudes are known as key elements in accurate seismic
hazard assessment programs. Recently, the deployment of Icelandic strong-motion arrays, ICEARRAY
I in the SISZ and ICEARRAY II in the TFZ, has

and sustainable society. The main vision of the European Plate
Observing System (EPOS) is to address the three basic challenges in Earth Sciences: (i) unravelling the
Earth's deformational processes which are part of the Earth system evolution in time, (ii) understanding
the geo-hazards and their implications to society, and (iii) contributing to the safe and sustainable use
