The need to refine and further develop exploitation techniques of georesources pose many fundamental problems to be addressed including mitigation of seismic hazard caused by human mining activity while preserving efficient and safe exploitation at the same time. The key point in mitigation of seismic hazard is to understand the interactions and coupling between rock mass properties, exploitation techniques applied, and exploitation-induced stress build up and transfer leading to the occurrence of dangerous seismic activity. Various studies are performed nowadays to address these interactions, either by analyzing the outcome of laboratory experiments on rock samples or by direct investigation of induced seismicity that occurred in-situ. This session aims on bringing together and integrate studies related to geomechanical understanding of processes occurring during exploitation of georesources leading to the occurrence of induced seismicity. We welcome contributions from laboratory studies, numerical modeling, as well as analysis of induced seismicity related to exploitation of georesources (mining, geothermal, oil-gas).
