Congratulations to Tom Eyre and Mirko van der Baan.
Their paper on "The reliability of microseismic moment-tensor solutions: Surface versus borehole monitoring" is currently being highlighted as a bright spot in the Nov/Dec issue of Geophysics.
See "read more" for the link to the paper.

Congratulations to David Eaton who co-authored a paper in Science.
Schultz, Atkinson, Eaton, Gu and Kao: Hydraulic fracturing volume is associated with induced earthquake productivity in the Duvernay play, Science, 359(6373), 304-308, 2018.

Listen to Mirko van der Baan talking on the SEG Podcast ‘Seismic Soundoff’ about the Feb 2018 special issue in The Leading Edge on ‘Induced Seismicity’. Mirko van der Baan was one of the guest editors. David Eaton co-authored a paper in this special issue. See “read more” for podcast link and TLE special issue link.

Microseismic Industry Consortium will attend the 2018 CSEG Geoconvention. See details for talk/poster schedules.

Mauricio Reyes Canales obtained SSA’s Student Presentation Award for his presentation at the Seismology of the Americas held in May. His presentation title is “Monte Carlo Simulations for Analysis and Prediction of Non-Stationary Magnitude-Frequency Distributions in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis“

Marco Venieri (co-supervised by Per Pedersen and David Eaton) won the 2018 Best Student Oral Presentation at the Geoconvention for his presentation entitled “Influence of sedimentary facies on geomechanical properties in the Duvernay Formation, Fox Creek area, AB, Canada?. (This is a hat-trick for Marco – the 3rd year in a row he has been recognized for Best Student paper award at the Geoconvention).

Scott McKean also won the 2018 Best Student Oral Presentation at the Geoconvention for his presentation entitled “A geomechanical comparison of the Duvernay and the Montney“.

The University of Alberta is conducting a public survey on the Oil and Gas Industry in Western Canada. Survey is completely anonymous and will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. Please go to the website below for more information and to participate!

We are interested in your views and experiences with the oil and gas industry in western Canada! Results will be shared with industry and regulators, and may inform policy recommendations.

Microseismic Industry Consortium will attend the 2019 CSEG Geoconvention. See details for talk/poster schedules.

Jordan Phillips won the 2019 Best Student Oral Presentation at the Geoconvention for her presentation entitled “Understanding Public Risk Perception in the Oil and Gas Industry” by Jordan Phillips, Mirko van der Baan, Sven Anders and Scott McKean
