Passive Seismic Monitoring of Induced Seismicity

Beschreibung

The past few decades have witnessed remarkable growth in the application of passive seismic monitoring to address a range of problems in geoscience and engineering, from large-scale tectonic studies to environmental investigations. Passive seismic methods are increasingly being used for surveillance of massive, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing and development of enhanced geothermal systems. The theoretical framework and techniques used in this emerging area draw on various established fields, such as earthquake seismology, exploration geophysics and rock mechanics. Based on university and industry courses developed by the author, this book reviews all the relevant research and technology to provide an introduction to the principles and applications of passive seismic monitoring. It integrates up-to-date case studies and interactive online exercises, making it a comprehensive and accessible resource for advanced students and researchers in geophysics and engineering, as well as industry practitioners.

Autor

David W. Eaton is a Professor of Geophysics in the University of Calgary's Department of Geoscience where he served as Department Head from 2007 to 2012. He is presently co-director of the Microseismic Industry Consortium, a novel initiative dedicated to the advancement of research, education and technological innovations in microseismic methods and their practical applications for resource development. His current research is focused on microseismic monitoring and induced seismicity, intraplate earthquake swarms, and the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary beneath continents.
