Opis

Contains twelve papers from six countries, dealing with observations of triggered and induced seismicity in four continents. This work features cases including seismicity due to hard-rock mines, coal mines, underground research facilities for nuclear waste disposal, water injections, reservoirs, acquifers and oil fields.
