Moment tensors and other source parameters of mining‐induced earthquakes in TauTona Mine, South Africa
May 1, 2015
Induced seismicity exhibits diverse source mechanisms that are often difficult to constrain for small events. Here, we use data from the in‐mine seismic network, the Natural Earthquake Laboratory in South African Mines network, and a temporary Program for the Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere deployment in TauTona Mine, South Africa, to determine full moment tensors of 100 mining‐induced earthquakes in the magnitude range −2.7
