This book offers an in-depth analysis and interpretation methods
applicable to mine-induced seismicity. It is based on over 40 years
of experience in mine and exploration geophysics. Another unique
feature of this book is the complete history of the caving process
as evidenced by the recorded seismicity at the South African copper
mine Palabora Lift 1. Until now, the literature has only presented
theory and case studies discussing the interpretation of results,
and there has been no discussion of the input-data quality or why a
certain interpretation technique was applied. This book fills that
gap. This book is a fascinating read, written by one of the world's
leading mine seismologists. It summarises the history and
progression of mine seismology. It outlines the practical use of
back analysis of data and how it can be used on a daily basis. The
book explains how mine seismology can be used as an effective
monitoring tool for key events as the mine progresses as well as
for future caving operations.Anthony Allman MAusIMM, CP(Min), RPEQ
Antcia Consulting Pty Ltd, Director, Mining Engineer The content of
the book is really solid and robust and I have no doubt it is going
to be considered a great contribution for the mining community.Raul
Fuentes, Former Director of Master Program in Geomechanics Applied
to Mining, Universidad de los Andes, Santiago, Chile This book is
long overdue and helps to present some difficult concepts in a way
that they can be clearly understood by non-experts in this area.
Stefan has personally managed to take mine seismology from being a
black-art into a useful tool to help make mines a safer and more
controlled environment. Neil Hepworth C. Eng, MIMMM, Geomin
Consultorio - Brazil, Consultant Mining and Geotechnics Seismic
monitoring is an important tool in cave management. The information
from monitoring allows a number of key production factors to be
determined including cave advance rates, the approximate location
of the cave back, insight into the size of the air gap and allows
the tracking of broad changes in stress. These all assist in the
day to day management of a safe and successful cave. Dr. Glazer's
book provides guidance on the application of microseismicity to
cave management through a review of appropriate theory and more
importantly illustrates its use through case histories,
particularly from the Palabora block cave. The text will be a good
addition for all practitioners in cave engineering and
operations.Allan Moss, General Manager - Grasberg Underground
