A brief tilt and strain survey was conducted in the Krafla-Namafjall area in the North of Iceland during August of 1979 in order
to study the feasibility of applying solid earth tidal observations
in the exploration of volcanic geothermal systems. The rationale
of the survey was based on the expectation...
Low-temperature hydrothermal activity in Iceland is
apparently mostly controlled by dikes and fractures.
Conventional methods of production data analysis are not
readily applicable in cases of heterogeneous/anisotropic
fracture dominated hydrothermal systems. Moreover, the
dikes and fractures may control the heat uptake mechanism
of low-temperature activity.
The free-surface response functions of...
