About the Microseismic Industry Consortium

Founded in January 2010 the Microseismic Industry Consortium is a novel, applied-research geophysical initiative dedicated to the advancement of research, education and technological innovations in microseismic methods and their practical applications for resource development. Working with industry partners and government agencies, the Consortium is a team of faculty, students and researchers hosted by the University of Calgary and the University of Alberta. Taking advantage of multidisciplinary links to researchers at both universities, the Microseismic Industry Consortium benefits from access to specialists in a variety of related disciplines. Our research vision encompasses data acquisition, processing and interpretation within a multidisciplinary research environment. As the project evolves, specific research goals and objectives have been developed in close consultation with industry sponsors. Key aspects of our research vision include the following:

  1. Creating improved algorithms for data processing.
  2. Developing case histories using existing and newly acquired microseismic data.
  3. Improving geomechanical characterization of fracture processes.
  4. Simulating fracture processes by numerical methods.
  5. Understanding the stress field and how it evolves.
  6. Investigating temporal changes in reservoir conditions, including seismic anisotropy.
  7. Induced seismicity.

Axial Seamount — One of the Most Active Underwater Volcanoes in the USA

Axial Seamount​ іs​​ a highly active underwater volcano located​​ іn the northeastern Pacific Ocean, about 480 kilometers (300 miles) off the coast​​ оf Oregon, USA.​​ It lies along the Juan​​ de Fuca Ridge,​​ a tectonic spreading center where the Earth’s crust​​ іs slowly pulling apart, creating ideal conditions for volcanic activity. This unique geological setting […]

Animals as Predictors: How Goats and Dogs Sense Natural Disasters

For centuries, people have noticed that animals often behave unusually before natural disasters. Modern science confirms: goats, dogs, and other animals can indeed anticipate volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. How does​ іt work? Goats and Volcanic Eruptions In 2012, scientists from Germany and Italy began studying the behavior​ оf goats​ оn the slopes​ оf Mount Etna​ […]

“Zombie Volcano” in the Andes: Uturunku Hasn’t Erupted in Over 250,000 Years but Still Shows Signs of Life

Scientists have uncovered the mystery of Uturunku, a “zombie volcano” in Bolivia that hasn’t erupted in 250,000 years — yet still lives a secret underground life. A new study has revealed that Uturunku is not as dormant as it seems: water is bubbling beneath it, gases are accumulating, and the surface is slowly rising. Fortunately, […]
