Abstract

The authors propose a new procedure for establishment of the space-time relationships between the quantity and energies of seismic events and the stress-strain state parameters using deterministic information on variation of geomechanical fields and the statistical analysis of the induced seismicity data. The new procedure has been verified under conditions of Tashtagol iron ore mine.
