Keynote 2 - Sandra Ósk Snæbjörnsdóttir
Carbfix Head of CO2 mineral storage technology, Reykjavik, Iceland
Carbfix: CO2 mineral storage in basaltic rocks
Sandra Snæbjörnsdóttir holds a PhD in geology and works as Head of technology at Carbfix in Iceland, specialising in injection of CO2 for mineral storage.
Sandra has extensive experience in overseeing feasibility studies, field site characterization, drilling and monitoring campaigns related to planned and ongoing CO2 injections. One of her passions is to build bridges between industry and academia through pilot projects – moving out of the protected environments of the labs and into the field.

Keynote 4 - Kristín Jónsdóttir
Icelandic Met office, Head of Department for: Volcanic activity, earthquakes and deformation.
The unrest on the Reykjanes Peninsula and eruption in Fagradalsfjall
2021 & 2022
Kristín Jónsdóttir holds a PhD in Earthquake Seismology from Uppsala University and has a background in geophysics. Since 2013, she has held leading roles at the Icelandic Meterological Office in earthquake and volcano monitoring.
Her research interests span various disciplines, with the aim of understanding the ongoing physical processes of volcanoes and tectonic regimes in Iceland, and ultimately improving operational monitoring to provide meaningful information and warnings to the public, aviation, and other stakeholders. Currently, she is leading the Grant of Excellence Rannís project IS-TREMOR and is involved in several other research projects. She has taught earthquake seismology at the University of Iceland at the MS-level and is active in providing opportunities for students at the IMO, as well as in outreach activities to bring science closer to citizens.
