Tectonic Stress as the Driving Mechanism for Dike Opening in an Oblique Rift Setting: A Deformation Model of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall Dike, Iceland

Abstract Repeated dike‐intrusions often occur in zones where extensional stress has accumulated. Still, geodetic modeling of observed dike‐induced ground deformation often ignores the contribution of tectonic stress. On the obliquely spreading Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland, tectonic strain build‐up h...
