This course is part of the 15th General Assembly of the Asian Seismological Commission.

The course combines an overview of the general workflow for microseismic event processing and analysis and the physics behind earthquake induction.  Points covered over the two sessions include:

• Overview of Earthquakes and microseismicity, scaling, quick overview of the workflow for a microseismic processing project
• The mechanics of fracturing. Mechanisms driving the induction of microseismic events
• Seismic magnitude
• Induced seismicity cases: early examples of dam-induced seismicity, hydraulic fracturing-induced seismicity, overview of traffic-light systems.
• Hands-on examples. Participants will have access to 2-weeks licence for InSite-HF to work and visualise example case studies provided. A brief introduction to the use of the software with the pre-configured examples will be provided.
• Analysis, imaging, characterisation, and quantification of the induced fracture network, including a case study from the hydraulic fracturing of a tight-gas formation 

A temporary 14-day licence of InSite-Plus is included in the course.
