Seismicity Caused by Mines, Fluid Injections, Reservoirs, and Oil Extraction (Pageoph Topical Volumes)

Seismicity Caused by Mines, Fluid Injections, Reservoirs, and Oil Extraction

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The perturbation of the earth by mankind causes earthquakes in a variety of situations. This phenomenon continues to be a major concern to engineers and scientists concerned with the mitigation of the consequences of this seismicity, as well as better understanding the processes at its origin. The present volume contains twelve papers from six countries, dealing with observations of triggered and induced seismicity in four continents. The reported cases include seismicity due to hard-rock mines, coal mines, underground research facilities for nuclear waste disposal, water injections, reservoirs, acquifers and oil fields. This volume provides case studies of previously unavailable observations of this phenomenon, investigations of the cause and source mechanism of seismic events, studies of source location distributions, determinations of seismic source parameters, cases of the use of such parameters in assessing rockburst hazard in mines, and measurements of velocity an attenuation properties of rock masses. The present collection of papers provides an excellent indication of the current state of the art and new developments in this area of research.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 244 pp. Englisch.
