This book provides a summary of geodynamic results from Iceland that presently are found in a great number of scientific articles, but have not been collected before in a book. The ever increasing number of scientists interested in geology and geophysics of Iceland should find the book a "must" to gain knowledge about previous work and the status of knowledge about Iceland.
Mantle plume-mid-ocean ridge interaction in the North Atlantic.- Tectonic framework.- Crustal structure of Iceland.- Volcano dynamics.- The plate-spreading deformation cycle.- Breaking the crust: Seismicity and faulting.- Glacial isostasy and sea-level change: Rapid vertical movements and changes in volcanic production rates.- Iceland geodynamics: Outlook.
