Seismicity caused by mines, fluid injections, reservoirs, and oil extraction

Description:

"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 present collection of papers provides an excellent indication of the current state of the art and new developments in this area of research."--BOOK JACKET.
