Intense seismicity during the 2014–15 Bárðarbunga-Holuhraun rifting event, Iceland, reveals the nature of dike-induced earthquakes and caldera collapse mechanisms ...
Over two weeks in August 2014 magma propagated 48km laterally from Bárðarbunga volcano before erupting at Holuhraun for 6 months, accompanied by collapse of the caldera. A dense seismic network recorded over 47,000 earthquakes before, during and after the rifting event. More than 30,000 earthquakes...
