Field Excursion · June 11th

We will head out to the Reykjanes Peninsula to explore the recent volcanic fields! As the itinerary involves a short hike and time outdoors, we kindly ask participants to dress warmly and wear sturdy shoes for the Icelandic weather. And don’t forget your swimsuits!

NordForsk Nordic DAS Project Workshop

We are pleased to host a workshop on 8 June 2026 focused on Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). Supported by the Nordforsk Nordic DAS project, this event explores "Fiber-optics for Natural Hazard Monitoring" and is held in conjunction with the 57^th Nordic Seismology Seminar.

Attendance Note: Please note that this workshop is reserved for the NordForsk project partners and invited guests. This session is focused on internal capacity building and discussions, therefore attendance is limited to ensure a productive working environment. We look forward to sharing key takeaways and updates with our wider community as the project evolves.

The Nordic DAS Workshop will be held at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, Bústaðavegi 7, 105 Reykjavík | Meeting Room: B7 building, Undirheimar. You can reach IMO using bus routes 18, 13, or 4.
