Abstract

Summary

Understanding source mechanisms of induced earthquakes is important to distinguish them from natural ones. The authors of the paper have developed a method for determination of seismic moment tensor using data from a small number of seismic stations. The use of only direct P-waves for the inversion reduces its sensitivity to inaccurate knowledge of medium model between the source and the stations and improves the reliability of the resulting tensor and, in such a way, our ability to distinguish between the natural and induced earthquakes.

The authors also propose a method for determination of extended source parameters (finite-fault solution) by inversion of wave field also from only direct P-waves registered by a small number of seismic stations. It enables to determine the distribution of slips along the fault, providing a valuable resource for investigation and better understanding of source processes, ultimately guiding to improved seismic-hazard analysis in the areas of induced earthquakes.
