Description
Summary:This study simulates automatic event detection and location performance of a micro-earthquake network centered around a site selected for a future power plant in Finland, Fennoscandian Shield. Simulation of the event location capability is based on a relationship derived between event magnitude and maximum detection distance. Azimuthal coverage and threshold magnitude are computed for different station configurations and the results are presented as contour maps. An optimal configuration of ten seismograph stations is proposed for further on-site survey Non peer reviewed
