As this year's seminar takes place in Iceland, a special focus will also be on volcano seismology, magma tracking in the crust and eruption early warning.

Collaboration between the Nordic countries in seismological research has a long tradition. The seminar is held annually and rotates between the Nordic countries. This year, it is organized by the Icelandic Meteorological Office. The seminar strengthens Nordic cooperation and several joint research projects have arisen from past seminars.
