Anelastic deformation in Iceland studied using GPS: with special reference to post-tectonic motion following the 1975-1985 krafla rifting episode, and isostatic rebound
The Krafla volcanic system is a spreading segment in north Iceland. A decade-long crustal spreading episode began there in 1975. Up to 8 m of rift-normal surface widening occurred along an 80-90 km-long section of the plate boundary. Isostatic uplift in the vicinity of the melting icecap Vatnajōkull...
