TL;DR: The South Iceland Lowland (SIL) project as discussed by the authors is a concerted effort of the Nordic countries toward earthquake prediction research in the South Iceland seismic zone (SISZ), where most destructive earthquakes in the history of iceland have occurred.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a combination of body wave and surface wave data sets to reveal the mantle plume and plume head, and presented a tomographic image of the mantle structure beneath Iceland to 400 km depth.

TL;DR: A review of the achievements of volcano geodesy in Iceland during the last 15 years can be found in this article, where a variety of geodetic techniques, including leveling, electronic distance measurements, campaign and continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) geodesys, and interferometric analysis of synthetic aperture radar images (InSAR).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a 3D model of the crustal S velocity model and Moho map for Iceland based on a combination of surface wave and body wave constraints.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the results of the highest-resolution teleseismic tomography study yet performed of the upper mantle beneath Iceland, using data gathered by the Iceland Hotspot Project, which operated a 35-station network of continuously recording, digital, broadband seismometers over all of Iceland 1996-1998.
