Spectral density estimates, depicting seismic noise recorded in Australia by temporary networks of the Earthquake Mechanism Laboratory, range from 5 to 20 dB higher (at 1.0 Hz) than similar estimates made from seismic noise recorded at Uinta Basin Observatory, Vernal, Utah. Amplitudes of microseisms recorded at network stations show similar time-varying trends which seem correlated to meteorological conditions. In the band about 1.0 Hz, the estimated coherence of microseisms approaches that for unrelated samples when sensors are separated by approximately 2 km. Studies of 178 teleseisms suggest a detection threshold of mb = 4.6 for shallow teleseisms occurring as far as 90 degrees from network stations. Many of the teleseismic recordings show anomalous short-period P waves. Visual estimates of the coherence of P waves, recorded at network stations, range from almost coherent to almost incoherent.

In the early 1950s microseisms, with characteristic amplitudes of several micro meters, were considered insignificant relative to powerful destructive earthquakes. They were understood to be noise, as natural fluctuations, not carrying any in formation and distorting recordings on seismograms. Intensive investigations over subsequent decades have shown, however, that microseisins are only a single facet of a huge complex of phenomena comprising cyclone movement over oceans, sea roughness, infrasound, geomagnetic micropulsations, terrestial of these phenomena proved to be confined in time currents, etc. The source and space, whereas their effects propagated over global distances. This could b...
Over the past decade, microseismic monitoring, a technology developed for evaluating completions of wells drilled to produce hydrocarbons from unconventional reservoirs, has grown increasingly popular among oil and gas companies. Microseismic Monitoring, by Vladimir Grechka and Werner M. Heigl, discusses how to process microseismic data, what can and cannot be inferred from such data, and to what level of certainty this might be possible. The narrative of the book follows the passage of seismic waves: from a source triggered by hydraulic fracture stimulation, through hydrocarbon-bearing formations, towards motion sensors. The waves’ characteristics encode the location of their source and i...
This radical revision of Professor Bullen's acclaimed and widely used text provides an introduction to modern seismological theory, with emphasis on both the physical models and the mathematical descriptions of earthquakes and their sources. The essential core of the earlier editions has been retained, particularly the tensor treatment of elasticity, seismic wave travel-time analysis and density in the Earth, although these parts of the text have been brought up to date and expanded. The new part of the book reflects on how the study of earthquakes, seismic waves and seismic risk has been broadened in the past two decades. Thus, this edition includes introductory theory of earthquake sources...
