This volume presents different studies carried out on induced
seismicity, both from experimental and theoretical viewpoints.
Several examples of seismic activity induced by underground nuclear
explosions, impoundment of artificial reservoirs, and mining
activities are given and discussed. Another important subject which
is covered is earthquakes induced by other large earthquakes.
Further, tectonic stress release in the immediate vicinity of an
underground nuclear explosion is treated. The release produces
aftershocks of small magnitude, usually for several weeks,
occurring a few kilometers within the shot point. This phenomenon
is of importance in the context of monitoring a Comprehensive Test
Ban Treaty.
