Long needed overview of geodynamics of Iceland
Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
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.
1. Introduction;- 2. Mantle plume - mid ocean ridge interaction in the North Atlantic;- 3. Tectonic framework;- 4. Crustal structure of Iceland;- 5. Volcano dynamics;- 6.
