Feignier, B. and Young, R.P. (1992). Moment tensor inversion of induced microseisnmic events: Evidence of non-shear failures in the -4 < M < -2 moment magnitude range. Geophysical Research Letters 19: doi: 10.1029/92GL01130. issn: 0094-8276.

To assess objectively the source mechanism of mining-induced seismic events, we developed an algorithm to invert for the moment tensor components. From this inversion, the ratio of isotropic/deviatoric component in the source is obtained. We are applying this method to microseismic events (-4
