Strain accumulation 1986-1992 across the Reykjanes Peninsula plate boundary, Iceland, determined from GPS measurements / Erik Sturkell, Freysteinn Sigmundsson, Páll Einarsson, Roger Bilham.

Title: Strain accumulation 1986-1992 across the Reykjanes Peninsula plate boundary, Iceland, determined from GPS measurements / Erik Sturkell, Freysteinn Sigmundsson, Páll Einarsson, Roger Bilham.

Date: 1994.
In: Geophysical Research Letters. (1994.), Vol. 21(2) (1994)
Abstract: GPS geodetic observations 1986-1992 spanning oblique plate boundary on Reykjanes Peninsula, SW Iceland, show that left-lateral shear strain is accumulating in area. Principal axis of extension is perpendicular to strike of fractures within volcanic systems on Peninsula. Direction of maximal left- lateral shear strain is same as trend of seismic zone on Peninsula. Continuous aseismic slip of North American-Eurasian plates below locking depth on Peninsula can explain observed depth of earthquakes, width of deformation zone determined from recent fissuring and faulting and GPS measurements of strain.
