Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Plate tectonics
  • Magma

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Rift, Volcano, Caldera and Rift zone. Seismology connects with themes related to Crust in his study. His Caldera study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lava and Magma.

His Magma research includes elements of Basalt and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Seismic zone, Geodesy, Fault, Earthquake swarm and Mid-Atlantic Ridge. He has included themes like Transform fault and Mid-ocean ridge in his Plate tectonics study.

His most cited work include:

  • Earthquakes and present-day tectonism in Iceland (357 citations)
  • Intrusion triggering of the 2010 Eyjafjallajokull explosive eruption (294 citations)
  • Segmented lateral dyke growth in a rifting event at Bárðarbunga volcanic system, Iceland (279 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Páll Einarsson mainly focuses on Seismology, Volcano, Magma, Caldera and Rift. His research links Crust with Seismology. His work investigates the relationship between Volcano and topics such as Geodesy that intersect with problems in Interferometric synthetic aperture radar.

He has researched Caldera in several fields, including Effusive eruption and Volcanology. His Rift zone research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dike and Fissure. His work on Divergent boundary as part of general Plate tectonics research is often related to Eurasian Plate, thus linking different fields of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (65.07%)
  • Volcano (52.63%)
  • Magma (22.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Volcano (52.63%)
  • Seismology (65.07%)
  • Induced seismicity (15.31%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Páll Einarsson spends much of his time researching Volcano, Seismology, Induced seismicity, Caldera and Rift. His study in Volcano focuses on Magma in particular. By researching both Seismology and Resource, he produces research that crosses academic boundaries.

As a part of the same scientific family, Páll Einarsson mostly works in the field of Induced seismicity, focusing on Glacier and, on occasion, Subglacial eruption. His research integrates issues of Effusive eruption, Petrology and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar in his study of Caldera. In general Rift, his work in Rift zone is often linked to Key linking many areas of study.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Deformation in the Northern Volcanic Zone of Iceland 2008–2014: An interplay of tectonic, magmatic, and glacial isostatic deformation (23 citations)
  • Evolution of deformation and stress changes during the caldera collapse and dyking at Bárdarbunga, 2014–2015: Implication for triggering of seismicity at nearby Tungnafellsjökull volcano (16 citations)
  • Geodynamics of Iceland and the signatures of plate spreading (14 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Volcano
  • Plate tectonics
  • Basalt

His main research concerns Volcano, Seismology, Caldera, Induced seismicity and Magma. Seismology is frequently linked to Glacial period in his study. His research in Caldera intersects with topics in Effusive eruption and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar.

His work on Volcanic unrest as part of general Magma research is frequently linked to Gas release, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Plate tectonics study incorporates themes from Post-glacial rebound and Rift, Rift zone. The various areas that Páll Einarsson examines in his Tectonics study include Dike, Seismometer and Magma chamber.
