Volatiles in Icelandic subglacial rhyolite
… the pre-eruptive volatile content of Icelandic rhyolite is poorly constrained. I have measured the volatile content of melt inclusions and matrix glasses from five subglacial rhyolitic edifices in Iceland, which formed through contrasting eruptive behaviour. I provide the first chamber …

HVDC transmission across the Icelandic highlands
… done with respect to improved stability of the Icelandic transmission system and increased opportunities in load control. Simulations and analysis are carried out in the PSS/E software on a complete model of the Icelandic transmission system, as well a system validation to a real event. Dynamic …

Cross-Cultural issues at Icelandic workplaces
… workplaces in Iceland. 46 foreign workers and 36 Icelandic workers at various organizations answered the online questionnaire. The result shows that about half of workplaces of participants noticed increase in number of foreign employees, and most of them have experienced communication …

Biological diversity in Icelandic groundwater fissures
Iceland has an abundance of fissures that are parallel to the Mid-Atlantic ridge where bedrock cracks as a result of continental rifting. In some areas fissures penetrate the aquifer and expose the groundwater within the bedrock. The main objective of the study was to measure the biological …

Project Portfolio Management Utilization in Icelandic Organizations
… (PPM) in order to implement corporate strategy. Icelandic organizations, in a post-2008 global financial crisis, are no exceptions. While Project Management has been practiced and studied in Iceland for more than a decade, little is known about the status of PPM. PPM status in Iceland seems to be …

Pollen allergy in the Icelandic urban landscape
Since years the global number of pollen allergy sufferers keeps rising. A trend connected and influenced by several factors such as pollution, man-made monodominant planting communities and reduced biodiversity, mainly seen in the urban landscape. For city dwellers urban green spaces are essential …

Cryogenic carbon cycling at an Icelandic glacier
… of carbon within glaciated catchments. However, Icelandic glacial systems provide an opportunity to investigate the role of subglacial volcanism in driving carbon dynamics. Hydrochemical properties of Sόlheimajökull bulk meltwaters indicate untraditional redox conditions, with discharge of …

The structure and seismicity of Icelandic rifts
Three-fifths of the Earth’s crust has been built at oceanic spreading centres in the last 160 million years. To explore crustal extension processes and the architecture of these constructive plate boundaries I have studied the oceanic rift in Iceland. Here the Mid Atlantic Ridge is anomalously …

The Geochemistry of Silica in Icelandic Geothermal Systems
The geochemistry of silica in Icelandic geothermal fluids was studied. The data considered span over 60 years of a sample collection of both sub-boiling liquid water and two-phase well discharges, in total ~1650 samples from >30 geothermal areas. The measured concentration of silica in the samples …

Financial structure and innovation in Icelandic public institutions
This thesis asks whether the way Icelandic public institutions are funded shapes how they do innovation. It compares institutions that rely almost entirely on the state budget with institutions that also earn some of their own income. The study brings together official financial data and ten guided …

Radial Miscible Viscous Fingering of Icelandic Mantle Plume
The Icelandic plume, a major convective upwelling, has had a considerable influence on the geological evolution of the North Atlantic region. Direct manifestations of this major convective upwelling include positive residual depth anomalies and long wavelength free-air gravity anomalies, both of …
