The observation of microseismicity has raised the interest of the seismological and
geoengineering communities in the last decades, and a significant effort has been spent to …

We describe a parametrization of moment tensors that is suitable for use in algorithms for
moment tensor inversion. The parameters are conceptually natural and can be easily …

The seismic moment tensors for certain types of sources, such as volcanic earthquakes and
nuclear explosions are expected to contain an isotropic component. Some earlier efforts to …

Human activities, including operations related to mining and reservoir exploitation, may
induce seismicity and pose a risk for population and infrastructures. While different …

We discuss analytical results for seismic radiation during rapid episodes of inelastic brittle
deformation that include, in addition to the standard moment term, a damage-related term …

Abstract Characterization of seismic sources is an important aspect of seismology.
Parameter uncertainties in such inversions are essential for estimating solution robustness …

Classical explosion source theory relates isotropic seismic moment to the steady state level
of the reduced displacement potential. The theoretical isotropic moment for an …

A seismic moment tensor is a 3× 3 symmetric matrix that provides a compact representation
of a seismic source. We develop an algorithm to estimate moment tensors and their …

Seismology illuminates physical processes occurring during underground explosions, not all
yet fully understood. The thus‐far strongest North Korean test of 3 September 2017 was …

We have determined seismic source mechanisms for shallow and intermediate-depth
icequake clusters recorded on the glacier Gornergletscher, Switzerland, during the summers …
