Description
Summary:Hengill volcanic complex is located at a triple-junction between two segments of the spreading ridge between North American plate and European plate, and a transform fault (South Iceland Seismic Zone). This area is subject to intense seismic activity, which is monitored continuously by a permanent seismological network, the SIL network of the Icelandic Meteorological Office. A well-developed geothermal system is exploited and the extracted vapour allows Icelanders to sustain for part of their needs in power supply and heat. In order to improve the understanding of the relationships between the seismic activity and geothermal exploitation, a network including 7 broadband seismological stations was set up from June 26 th, 2006 until October 17 th, 2006, in the framework of the FP6 funded I-
