IFSCRI
Microseismicity Experimental Design Workshop
CEMI held an Experimental Design Workshop in Microseismicity for the proposed International Fault Slip Control Research Initiative (IFSCRI). This workshop was one of five field-specific workshops which are to be held over the next 6-8 months, each one with the purpose of brainstorming exciting and relevant research and technology projects needed to better understand the fault slip problem in underground mines within the context of a ~$20 million, multi-year research program.
Seminars (October 29, 2009)
- Fault Stability (S.McKinnon)
- Developments in Seismic Monitoring (C.Trifu)
- Seismicity: Forcasting or Prediction? (S.Spottiswoode)
- Seismic Hazard and Rock Mass Stability (A.Mendecki)
- Earthquake Rupture Process and Damaging Motion (A.McGarr)
- Seismicity in the Oil and Gas Industry (M.Dusseault)
