JAGUARS – Mining induced picoseismicity associated to gold mining

GFZ Data Services

(2024)

This dataset presented herein originates from the JAGUARS (The Japanese German Underground Acoustic Emission Research in South Africa) project, which took place from 2007 to 2009 in Mponeng Gold Mine, South Africa. Project partners included Ritsumeikan University, Earthquake Research Institute University of Tokyo and Tohuku University in Japan, the German Research Center for Geosciences Potsdam and Gesellschaft für Materialprüfung und Geophysik GMuG mbH in Germany, as well as the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Johannesburg, Seismogen CC in Cartonville, Anglo Gold Ashanti Ltd and the Institute of Mining Seismology in the Republic of South Africa. This publication forms part of the Geo-INQUIRE initiative (HORIZON-INFRA-2021-SERV-01 call, project number 101058518). It is cross-referenced on the EPISODES Platform (https://episodesplatform.eu/?lang=en#episode:JAGUARS (not yet existing)), which is managed by the EPOS TCS AH (European Plate Observing System Thematic Core Service Anthropogenic Hazards). Within the EPISODES Platform, the datasets are consolidated into an “episode” titled “JAGUARS: Mining induced picoseismicity associated with gold mining”. The EPISODES Platform offers open access to the integrated research infrastructures of the EPOS TCS AH, enabling users to download data and utilize a range of basic online visualization tools to graphically represent and process the datasets directly within their personal workspace.
