The South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ) is one of the most seismically active area in Iceland. The last two major events occured in the central and western parts of the SISZ in June 2000 and May 2008, respectively. In this thesis, I use geodetic methods to estimate the deformation due to earthquakes a...
