Application of earthquake prediction to other earthquake-prone regions

Since 1988 the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ) has been a test area for multinational and multidisciplinary earthquake prediction research. The basic objective of various research projects has been to study the physical processes leading to large earthquakes. Chapter 2 contains a short overview of the projects. The hope is that the experience gained in the SISZ will be applied at the many places of the world prone to dangerous earthquakes.
