Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Source parameters of earthquakes play a key role in the understanding of earthquake behavior and modelling of seismic hazard. They describe the size of earthquakes, including how much energy is generated during the rupture, and how the ground motion is distributed over different frequency bands and azimuths. The last decade’s increase in induced seismicity caused by oil and gas production has led to an interest in understanding the underlying earthquake processes and how they can be modelled. This thesis is divided into three studies, each examining source parameters of induced earthquakes in North America.
In the first study, I show …
