Geothermal exploration and reservoir monitoring using earthquakes and the passive seismic method
TLDR
In this article, the use of earthquake studies in the field of geothermal exploration is reviewed and the utility of the method cannot yet be assessed because of its undeveloped methodology and the paucity of case histories.About:

Three-Dimensional Seismic Velocity Structure of the Crust and Uppermost Mantle beneath Taiwan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied a tomographic method to infer the fine 3-D P- and S-wave velocity structures of the crust and upper mantle structures of Taiwan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hengill triple junction, sw iceland 1. tectonic structure and the spatial and temporal distribution of local earthquakes
TL;DR: The Hengill area is an unstable ridge-ridge-transform triple junction in SW Iceland as discussed by the authors, and the dominant tectonic trend of the area is N25°E, parallel to the accretionary zones, but transverse tectonics/topographic features have also developed in the neighborhood of the two central volcanoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hengill triple junction, sw iceland 2. anomalous earthquake focal mechanisms and implications for process within the geothermal reservoir and at accretionary plate boundaries
TL;DR: The Hengill ridge-ridge transform triple junction is a complex tectonic unit containing two volcanic systems, one active and one extinct, and widespread geothermal resources as mentioned in this paper.

Seismic Vp and Vp/Vs structure of the geothermal area around Tarutung (North Sumatra, Indonesia) derived from local earthquake tomography
TL;DR: A passive seismic experiment with 42 short-period stations was setup for 10 months from May 2011 within a 20-30 km radius covering the Tarutung basin and the northern part of the Sarulla graben along the seismically active Sumatran fault (North Sumatra, Indonesia).

Anthropogenic earthquakes in the UK: A national baseline prior to shale exploitation
Miles Wilson,Richard J. Davies,Gillian R. Foulger,B. R. Julian,Peter Styles,Jon Gluyas,S Almond +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the distribution, timing and probable causes of ∼8000 onshore UK seismic events between the years 1970-2012 and estimate that at least 21% of these have an anthropogenic origin, at least 40% were natural and ∼39% have an undetermined, anthropogenic or natural origin.

Stick-slip as a mechanism for earthquakes.
W. F. Brace,James D. Byerlee +1 more
TL;DR: Stick-slip often accompanies frictional sliding in laboratory experi ments with geologic materials and may represent stick slip during sliding along old or newly formed faults in the earth.

Seismological evidence for Lateral magma intrusion during the July 1978 deflation of the Krafla volcano in NE-Iceland
TL;DR: In this paper, a dyke tip propagated with the velocity of 0.4-0.5 m/sec during the first 9 hours, but the velocity decreased as the length of the dyke increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rifting of the plate boundary in north Iceland 1975–1978
TL;DR: A rifting episode started in 1975 on the accreting plate boundary in North Iceland after 100 years of quiescence, and the rifting occurs periodically in short active pulses at a few months intervals as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current rifting episode in north Iceland
TL;DR: A major rifting episode is now occurring in north Iceland as mentioned in this paper, with a basaltic eruption, an exceptionally intense earthquake swarm and movement on an 80-km segment of the plate boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI
S-wave shadows in the Krafla Caldera in NE-Iceland, evidence for a magma chamber in the crust
TL;DR: In this article, it has been shown that the attenuation of seismic waves is highly variable in the central region of the Krafla volcano and that small pockets of magma may exist at shallower levels.
