HOW MAY GLACIAL REBOUND INFLUENCE SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN ICELAND?
The current warming trend started in the 1890s in Iceland, and the Icelandic ice caps have been generally retreating since then. The total volume of ice lost by Vatnajökull since 1890 is estimated at 435 km3, equivalent to a 50 m thick layer over the entire glacier. Ice loss data from the other majo...
