Using local earthquakes and explosions recorded on the 3-D seismic network operating in Southwest Iceland, the 3-D velocity structure has been modelled to depths of 10–15 km. The tomography algorithm simultaneously inverts for both P - and S -wave velocities and hypocentral locations. Major tectonic...
