NORSAR organizes session on microearthquakes at this years AGU Fall meeting in San Francisco. Interested scientists are invited to submit manuscripts to the session on
S05: Observation and Analysis of Natural and Induced Microearthquakes
by 3 September.
Session description
The analysis of microearthquakes is conducted routinely in many different settings, such as safety monitoring of deep mines, large dams, hydrocarbon reservoirs, volcanoes, fault zone monitoring at deep drilling projects and increasingly in the frame of geothermal studies and CO2 sequestration projects. A new generation of dense monitoring networks and deep borehole seismometer installations asks for new approaches and techniques to detect, locate and analyze microearthquakes in particular for low signal-to-noise ratios.
We are inviting contributions where advanced location techniques are used, and where the analysis of the full waveform have provided valuable additional information on the rupture process or on the properties of the surrounding medium, e.g. using microearthquakes for imaging purposes. Case studies as well as theoretical investigations are welcome. We further encourage contributions that address fundamental questions of earthquake statistics (scaling laws) and probabilities.
