Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Paleontology
  • Subduction

Thóra Árnadóttir focuses on Seismology, Volcano, Rift, Slip and Geodesy. His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geodetic datum, Interferometric synthetic aperture radar and Crust. His study in Geodetic datum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Strike-slip tectonics, Lithosphere and Deformation.

His work focuses on many connections between Volcano and other disciplines, such as Mid-Atlantic Ridge, that overlap with his field of interest in Plate tectonics, Eurasian Plate and Block. His study looks at the intersection of Rift and topics like Magma with Fissure and Divergent boundary. His study explores the link between Slip and topics such as Aftershock that cross with problems in Hypocenter and Stress field.

His most cited work include:

  • 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)
  • The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake imaged from inversion of geodetic data (121 citations)

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

Thóra Árnadóttir mainly investigates Seismology, Volcano, Geodesy, Deformation and Geodetic datum. His work carried out in the field of Seismology brings together such families of science as Slip and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar. He has included themes like Strike-slip tectonics and Hypocenter in his Slip study.

His Interferometric synthetic aperture radar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Induced seismicity, Fault, Tectonics and Crust. His Volcano study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geophysics, Petrology and Plate tectonics. His study in the field of Rift zone also crosses realms of Event.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (60.63%)
  • Volcano (33.86%)
  • Geodesy (32.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Seismology (60.63%)
  • Volcano (33.86%)
  • Deformation (25.20%)

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

His main research concerns Seismology, Volcano, Deformation, Rift and Geothermal gradient. Induced seismicity, Caldera, Seismic zone and Aftershock are the core of his Seismology study. His studies deal with areas such as Geodetic datum, Geophysics and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar as well as Volcano.

His Deformation study which covers Petrology that intersects with Triple junction, Lateral eruption, Phreatic eruption and Dense-rock equivalent. His study in the fields of Rift zone under the domain of Rift overlaps with other disciplines such as Event. His studies in Magma integrate themes in fields like Divergent boundary, Graben and Crust.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Segmented lateral dyke growth in a rifting event at Bárðarbunga volcanic system, Iceland (279 citations)
  • Volcanic plume height correlated with magma-pressure change at Grímsvötn Volcano, Iceland (60 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)
