This book presents the results of seismic data analysis and
interpretation based on nearly one million seismic events. This
seismicity was induced by the caving process in four copper mines,
each located on a different continent. The book not only serves as
an interpretation guide, it also illustrates the benefits of
evaluating data from different mines: How to establish which
seismic data base is faulty and why The formation of a universal
seismic response to the caving process Indisputable evidence that
hydro-fracturing improves underground safety This book invites
discussion on more general aspects of research, such as: Basic
research, applied research and implementation Predicting
mine-induced seismic events Quantitative versus qualitative
seismology Research versus pseudo-research What is genuine
research? [In the Parlabora Mine] Stefan has demonstrated that
[the] use of the seismic system was a very practical means of
monitoring the progression of the cave up to and beyond break
through into the open pit above. The seismic system was vital in
drawing up the undercutting and seismic protocols and determining
the maximum potential seismic hazard level. Peter Townsend Retired
Mine Manager and Consultant I consider Stefan the pioneer of using
microseismic data to provide understanding of the mechanism and
progress of cave mining. Science has advanced considerably since
the use of less than reliable extensometers to monitor the cave
back position and Stefan was leading this advance. (...)This book
provides a lot of useful insight[s] in how we can best understand
the data that we (...) gather and how to change this data into
useful information. Neil Hepworth C. Eng, MIMMM, Geomin Consultorio
- Brazil. Consultant Mining and Geotechnics Stefan mine seismology
trilogy is (...) a comprehensive tutoring on how to analyse and
interpret mine induced seismicity. This coaching is based on
multiple practical examples (...) presented from the problem to be
solved [with] input data tests followed by analysis and
interpretation. This last is presented with many details that
explain the whole process. Mahdi Bayuargo, ST, MAScPT. Duaem Gada
