This book provides a quantitative introduction to the underlying physics, application, interpretation, and hazard aspects of fluid-induced seismicity with a particular focus on its spatio-temporal dynamics. It presents many real-data examples of microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fracturing at hydrocarbon fields and of stimulations of enhanced geothermal systems. The author also covers introductory aspects of linear elasticity and poroelasticity theory, as well as elements of seismic rock physics and of the mechanics of earthquakes, enabling readers to develop a comprehensive understanding of the field. This book is a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students working in the fields of geophysics, geology, geomechanics and petrophysics, and a practical Preface Acknowledgments 1 Elasticity, seismic events and microseismic monitoring 2 Fundamentals of poroelasticity 3 Seismicity and linear diffusion of pore pressure 4 Seismicity induced by non-linear fluid-rock interaction 5 Seismicity rate and magnitudes References Index Color plate section between pages 82 and 83
