Excited to announce my return to the @uni_iceland as a tenure track Research Specialist in Seismology starting Jan 1 2024! My journey has taken me from Iceland to @Stanford, @Caltech, and @ETH, now it brings me back home. Looking forward to exploring new frontiers in #seismology

Back in grad school, I always thought we should tackle the dike trajectories problem in a biaxial stress field more rigorously. Although I never took it very far, I'm thrilled to see @LBlackstone_ has done an outstanding job with it!

We challenge the common assumption that fluid flow from a fault into the surrounding bulk can be disregarded due to permeability contrasts. Our findings reveal that, despite fairly high permeability contrasts, fluids do not travel far without leaking into the bulk.

Please consider coming to @Haskoli_Islands to work with @EliasHeimisson and me on the spectacular sequence of seismicity at Bárðarbunga #volcano over the past 10 years - including even more spectacular fieldwork on the Vatnajökull ice cap (+Askja, the Reykjanes Peninsula & more)!

The lava is flowing alongside a barrier that was being created precisely for this purpose to divert the flow away from the greenhouse. The question is if it will hold or the lava will break through or get around.

Although fascinating, the situation is quite serious with infrastructure and houses at risk. We can see on this webcam the lava flowing very close to a large greenhouse. At the current time man-made barriers seem to be diverting the flow youtube.com/watch?v=Bqudj0…

I started my faculty job at @uni_iceland in geophysics a few days ago. This morning, I could literally see a volcanic plume from the south end of campus!

We had a great run, but alas, one of our seismic stations was consumed by lava this morning. Quite sad watching the waveforms first showing signs of impending lava doom, and then losing contact altogether. RIP! 🌋☠️🔥

After 3 years and 5 eruptions, we finally have our first casualty. RIP to the Melhóll (MELH/meh) seismic station, which has faithfully recorded all the action on the #Reykjanes Peninsula since it was installed in June 2020. All data was safely telemetered up to its dying moments
