  1. Uppsala seismology group • Roland Roberts, Ólafur Gudmundsson, Ari Tyggvason, Björn Lund, Reynir Bödvarsson & Hossein Shomali • Network seismology, tomogaphy, and method development • We operate the Swedish National Seismic Netwok (SNSN) with 65 boadband seismic stations. • We also operate 20-25 portable broadband seismographs in temporary project deployments, on a local to regional scale, e.g in Iceland. • The SNSN network applies the same recording and analysis software, written in Uppsala, as IMO’s SIL network, and the Uppsala group has been IMO’s closest collaborator through its 20 year history. • The Uppsala geophysics group also has stengths in reflection seismology, electromagnetic methods and geodynamic modelling.

  2. Uppsala’s Futurevolc project • To develop tools to incorporate three-dimensional variations of seismic velocities into absolute earthquake locations. • Build a regionalized velocity model and test it against obsevations. • Incorporate 3D tomogaphic modelling results into regionalized model and test against data. • Build 3D travel time tables from model description of velocity heterogeneity for earthquake location. • Build 3D travel time tables empirically from travel-time observations for earthquake location. • Location by non-linear gid search methods with error analyses. • These are also objectives of the SNSN

  3. Project logistics Uppsala Futurevolk project leader: Ólafur Gudmundsson Uppsala group participants: Whole SNSN=seismology group PhD student: Project funds 60% of a PhD student who will start at Uppsala in the beginning of 2013 (advertisment done – selection in process). We need tomographic models of the Icelandic crust (we stand for much of what exists). SIL data for testing models and building empirical travel-time tables.
