It is the only elective course that combines the study of Geophysics of fluids and the phenomena of induced seismicity with an interdisciplinary approach. The determination of fluid diffusion properties through rocks of different composition is one of the most important challenges of Geophysics, but also necessary for the optimal investigation of the properties of the lithosphere and energy fluids (e.g. geothermal fluids).
An introduction to linear elasticity, seismic waves and microseismicity; Linear elasticity and seismic waves; Geomechanics and Seismicity (fractures in Solids); Microseismicity monitoring; Principles of linear poroelasticity; Fractures and Fluids; Fluids and poroelasticity; Elements of non linear effects in poroelesticity; Seismicity and fluids diffusion; KTB drilling project as a case study; Pore pressure relaxation; Seismic front waves and poroelasticity; Seismicity, fluids and inhomogeneous media; Seismicity and impoundment of dams; Fluids and seismic anisotropy; Basic principles of seismic anisotropy and shear-wave splitting; Measuring shear waves splitting parameters; Effects of fluids to shear-wave splitting parameters; Variability of shear-wave splitting parameters.
