Short-term Response Analysis

This app is for the analysis of short-term seismic responses following a trigger. A trigger is a single event or blast that may result in a temporary increase in seismic activity while a response is clustered seismicity following a trigger. The response events are defined based on a period since the trigger, and a volume centred on the trigger location. This app allows for insight into the seismic source mechanisms that drive time dependent responses, assessment of responses to develop appropriate re-entry protocols, and a rudimentary estimate of the ground motion associated with a seismic response.

Videos

You will need blast data to use this app. This video shows you how to manage your blast information.

Using this window, you can add blasts to the database using tagged blasts. The tagged blasts are clustered to give you a location and time
