School Seismology :: Blog :: Iceland on PAUL

May 29, 2008

There was a M 6.2 earthquake in Iceland at 15:46 UT today.

 The epicentre was at Selfoss 50km from the capital Reykjavik, being a shallow event (10Km) there was a lot of shaking and there are reports of serious damage to buildings and the road between Selfoss and Reykajavik is closed, thankfully at this time there are no reports of casualties. The bbc news website carries the latest reports and video of the earthquake. Update; 20 people treated for minor injuries.

The trace and travel time curves from PAUL were retrieved from the IRIS site using the "stations " programme, PAUL is continually uploading data via "upload". (apart form the occasional glitch!)
