Subject RIV: DH - Mining, incl. Coal Mining

The Ostrava - Karviná Coalfield is in the southwestern part of the Upper SilesianCoal Basin which extends from southern Poland into the Czech Republic. This coal mine district is situated in a geologically complicated region around the contact between large tectonic units, the older Bohemian Massif and the younger Outer Western Carpathians. The coal mining in the Ostrava - Karviná Coal Basin is accompanied with generating of induced seismic events having sometimes character of the rockburst with subsequent devastations in working. This paper is aimed at description of origin and development of induced seismicity and its monitoring by appropriate networks.
