About the author

Serge A. Shapiro is Professor of Geophysics at the Freie Universität Berlin, and since 2004, Director of the PHASE (PHysics and Application of Seismic Emission) university consortium project. From 2001 to 2008 he was one of the coordinators of the German Continental Deep Drilling Program. His research interests include seismogenic processes, wave phenomena, exploration seismology, and rock physics. He received the SEG Virgil Kauffman Gold Medal in 2013 for his work on fluid-induced seismicity and rock physics, and in 2004 was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Physics.

Summary

This book provides a quantitative introduction to the physics, application, interpretation, and hazard aspects of fluid-induced seismicity, focussing on spatio-temporal dynamics. Including many real data examples, this is a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students of geophysics, geomechanics and petrophysics, and a practical guide for petroleum geoscientists and engineers.
