Continental crust beneath southeast Iceland.
The magmatic activity (0-16 Ma) in Iceland is linked to a deep mantle plume that has been active for the past 62 My. Icelandic and northeast Atlantic basalts contain variable proportions of two enriched components, interpreted as recycled oceanic crust supplied by the plume, and subcontinental lithospheric mantle derived from the nearby continental margins. A restricted area in southeast Icelan...
متن کاملP-wave velocity structure of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath Iceland from local earthquake tomography
The structure of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath Iceland, the keys to understanding the magma plumbing system of the hotspot and hotspot–ridge interaction, was poorly constrained in previous seismological investigations. Here we develop a three-dimensional P-wave velocity model of the Icelandic crust and uppermost mantle from tomographic inversion of over 3500 first-arrivals from local e...
متن کاملSurgery in Iceland.
Icelandic surgeons provide a wide range of modern surgical services with excellent results. How can a nation of fewer than 300,000 persons accomplish this? The main reasons are a thriving economy, a high standard of living and education, and the training of surgeons. All Icelandic surgeons receive their training overseas, many at university hospitals in the other Nordic countries, particularly ...
متن کاملIceland plans reigned in
Back in 2000, when the imminent completion of the human genome fired the imagination of many biotech entrepreneurs and the internet bubble had yet to burst, many people were considering the logical next step after the genome. After establishing the three billion letters of DNA code that we all have in common, the hunt was on for the much smaller number of letters that are variable between indiv...
متن کاملGeothermal Energy in Iceland
Due to Iceland’s location on the Mid-Atlantic ridge, the island is provided with a great amount of geothermal energy. Hence, Iceland is well on the way to becoming completely independent of fossil fuels. Whereas high-temperature areas are mainly used for electricity generation, the more frequent low-temperature areas are utilized for direct application like space heating, bathing and greenhouse...
