The goal of TAISWG is to summarize a present state of knowledge about the induced and triggered seismicity processes and to discuss future trends in the field. Its purpose is also to provide an overview of the capabilities and limitations of current monitoring techniques and interpretation methods as applied to triggered earthquakes to assess and mitigate the seismic hazard.
TAIS Working Group is a part of IASPEI Commission on Seismological Observation and Interpretation, CoSOI (current list of group members can be found here).
The TAIS WG Website was mainly created in order to provide an appropriate worlwide forum to share the experience regarding:
monitoring induced events under different technological circumstances
ready-for-use processing methods
development of new methodologies
accounting for human raised factors in the seismic process
determining seismic hazard caused by induced phenomena
considering triggered and induced seismicity as scale models that can help to understand earthquakes
