Induced seismicity in Canada
Abstract The annual and cumulative catalogues of Canadian earthquakes prepared by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, are critically examined to determine if they contain examples of induced seismic activity caused by fluid injection in oil fields, by the impounding of water in large reservoirs or by mining. It is concluded that there is just one example each of induced seismic activity caused by fluid injection and by reservoir impoundment, but that there are many examples of induced seismic activity associated with mining. These include both mine bumps and rockbursts.
