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).
