Deformation waves from distant earthquakes as a trigger mechanism for activating geodynamic processes in rock mass

The results of experimental studies with a laser strainmeter and a multichannel automated geoacoustic rock pressure control system “PROGNOZ ADS” aimed at identifying the nature of the effect of deformation waves from distant earthquakes on the geodynamic activity of the monitored rock mass are presented. The quantitative and energy characteristics of geoacoustic emission before and after the arrival of deformation waves in the controlled rock mass are analyzed. The analysis performed indicates a trigger mechanism of the influence of a distant earthquake on the geodynamic activity of the rock mass. It is noted that the direction of arrival of the deformation wave is an essential factor in the intensification of geodynamic activity in the rock mass. The experiments also revealed the characteristics of rock burst precursors when registering deformation waves in the low-frequency range

Research of the formation of zones of stress concentration and dynamic manifestations based on seismoacoustic monitoring data in the fields of the Kola Peninsula

The article presents the results of geomechanical studies to assess the rock-bump hazard of the rock mass in the deposits (Kukisvumchorrskoe and Apatite Circus) of the Kola Peninsula using a special set of technical means, including the automated seismoacoustic system for monitoring rock pressure, “Prognoz-ADS”, and the local geoacoustic device “Prognoz-L”, developed at The Institute of Mining of the FEB RAS. Based on the measurement and analysis of parameters of seismoacoustic events reflecting geomechanical processes in the developed mountain range, we constructed maps of seismoacoustic activity and volumetric mining and geological models of mines. Using these tools, it becomes possible to assess the rock-bump hazard in these deposits and identify hotspots for emerging dangerous geodynamic events at an early stage, which allows us to take the necessary security measures to prevent them in advance
