Earthquake Iso‐Nuisance and Iso‐Damage Mapping for Alberta: Applications for Choosing Magnitude Thresholds to Manage Induced Seismicity

open access: yesEarth's Future
We generate earthquake iso‐nuisance and iso‐damage maps for Alberta. These maps show the spatial distribution of earthquake magnitude required to reach a specific level of nuisance and damage, considering human exposure and surficial geological ...

An optimizing microseismic method for rock burst early warning based on mining production process

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A classification early warning method of rock burst based on hourly microseismic data is proposed, which can be combined with the on‐site production process to provide more timely warning. Abstract Microseismic (MS) events have been reported in nearly every coal mining country, which could well lead to rock burst in underground coal mines.

Induced seismicity hazard and risk by enhanced geothermal systems: an expert elicitation approach

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
Induced seismicity is a concern for multiple geoenergy applications, including low-carbon enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). We present the results of an international expert elicitation ( n  = 14) on EGS induced seismicity hazard and risk.

Seismicity at the Castor gas reservoir driven by pore pressure diffusion and asperities loading

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The 2013 Castor seismic sequence, offshore Spain, is a rare example of seismicity induced by gas storage operations. Here we show that early seismicity marked the progressive failure of a fault in response to pore pressure diffusion, while later larger ...

Semi‐analytical solution for the stability of deep vertical shaft considering time‐dependent rock‐structure interaction

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel cavity contraction solution and multilayer shaft wall model were developed to analyze deep shaft stability, considering rock viscosity, support structures, and water pressure, with successful validation through a Hulusu Coal Mine case study.

A sensitivity analysis of induced seismicity potential for geothermal direct heat production in faulted sedimentary aquifers: a case study in the Netherlands

open access: yesGeothermal Energy
Over the past decades there has been a significant increase in the direct utilization of geothermal power as a renewable energy resource. Low-enthalpy geothermal systems for direct heat production are commonly developed in sedimentary aquifers with high ...

Numerical and experimental study on P‐wave propagation across a rock joint with different orientations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...

Gaborlet‐guided sparse filtering: A novel intelligent method for lithology identification by vibration signals while drilling

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The flowchart illustrates rock specimen testing, vibration signal acquisition, and feature extraction with Gaborlet and sparse filtering for classification. Abstract Traditional lithology identification methods mainly rely on core sampling and well‐logging data.

Whole-mine subsidence over tabular deposits and related seismicity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2017
The challenge of estimating mine-wide subsidence and linkages to seismicity over tabular deposits is addressed by a special finite element technique (dual node–dual mesh). Subsidence and mine-induced seismicity begins near the face when caving occurs and

Instability mechanism and failure characteristics of underground cavern in block system under the action of seismic waves

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Seismic waves with tensile stress, high amplitude, and low frequency are most likely to trigger block instability and sliding. Blocks with a single sliding surface are more prone to movement than those with multiple constraints, and roof‐positioned blocks are especially vulnerable to slide.
