Description
Summary:The Faroe Islands Passive Seismological Experiment (FIPSE) was funded by Sindri (contract C46-52-01) and formed a collaborative project between Dr. David Cornwell, Prof. Richard England (University of Leicester) and Prof. Graham Stuart (University of Leeds). Seismological equipment was loaned from the NERC geophysical equipment facility (GEF, loan 918), with field assistance from David Hawthorn and data processing assistance from Victoria Lane (SEIS-UK). We acknowledge the help, advice and support of Jarðfeingi, especially Thomas Varming, Uni Petersen, Bartal Højgaard, Romica Øster and Heri Ziska. Rannvá M. Arge and Magni Jøkladal are thanked for their assistance with fieldwork. Research undertaken in this article was supported by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, via a Collaborative Research Grant. Rosie Fletcher is thanked for her comments, which greatly improved the text. Peer reviewed
