Apparent Stress Estimates of Seismic Events Associated with Underground Mining Operations in Sedimentary Rock Units: Implications for Improving Underground Roof Collapse Warning Systems

We analyze recordings of seismic events induced by underground mining operations at the Moonee Colliery, located in Australia, and at the Springfield Pike Limestone Quarry, located in the United States. The data were recorded underground in the vicinity of active mining operations and were initially...
