Direct Burial Posthole Sites in Yukon Yield Excellent Results | Case study
A new broadband seismograph network for passive seismic imaging of earth structures has been installed in the Yukon using a new Posthole installation method that is now yielding excellent results.
Monitoring Natural and Induced Seismicity Horn River Basin, Northern BC, Canada | Case study
GeoScience BC identified a requirement to better understand the effects of hydraulic fracturing in the Horn River Basin. The dissemination of precise and accurate geotechnical information to the public is the foundation of their work.
Regional Seismicity Monitoring- Mackenzie Mountains and River Basin Region, Yukon | Case study
Purpose of case study: A five-year study to better understand seismicity and crustal behaviour in the Mackenzie Mountains and River Basin region of the Yukon.
New Temporary Broadband Array with Open Public Data Set Will Facilitate New Research: IRIS PASSCAL, Sweetwater, TX | Case study
Purpose of the study: To establish a temporary mixed phase broadband seismic array with publically open and available data that will facilitate new research. This was a 6 week study that began on March 11, 2014.
ISM Traffic Light Thresholds: Western Alberta ML Case Study | Case study
ISM traffic light protocols are implemented to manage induced seismic risk associated with Oil and Gas extraction activity. Incorrect application of protocols can have significant consequences for operators, associated communities and other stakeholders.
ML-Mw Magnitude Relationship: Western Alberta Case Study | Case study
The empirical relationship between moment (Mw) and local (ML) magnitudes is examined for small events in western Alberta. A comparison of the two magnitude scales indicate that ML attains smaller values than Mw for Mw<3.
Real-Time Monitoring of Bayou Corne Sinkhole with High Performance Seismic Array | Case study
The problem: The collapse of the Napoleonville Salt Dome in August 2012 produced a large sinkhole located 1300 feet from the community of Bayou Corne in Assumption Parish, Louisiana.
Real-time Induced Seismicity Monitoring- AER Regulator Regional Network | Case study
Purpose: To establish a regional network with real-time data streaming for monitoring seismic activity in the province of Alberta.
