Earthquakes occur over a continuous energy spectrum, ranging from high-magnitude, but rare, earthquakes to those of relatively low mag- nitude but high frequency of occurrence (i.e., microearthquakes). This review is concerned primarily with the underlying physical principles, techniques, and methods of analysis used in studying the low-magnitude end of the spectrum. As a consequence of advancing technological capa- bilities that are being applied in many diverse regional networks. this subject has grown so rapidly that the need for a coherent overview de- scribing the present state of affairs seems clear.
One of the main reasons for the growth of interest in microearthquakes is a newly accepted concern of seismologists for prediction that goes along with the more traditional concerns for description and physical under- standing including the use of earthquake records as probes of internal constitution of the Earth. It is now recognized that these low-amplitude microearthquakes are important signals of continuous tectonic processes in the Earth, the future evolution of which is to be forecast. In this predic- tive respect seismology has moved closer in its goals to meteorology, inheriting the awesome difficulties of predicting the output of an essen- tially aperiodic, nonlinear, stochastic, dynamic system that can only be modeled and observed in a very crude way far short of the continuum requirements in space and time.
The observational difficulties in seismology are, in fact, even more acute than those in meteorology. As we have indicated, however, there have already been substantial advances in this aspect of the problem, and this Supplement 2 volume of Advances in Geophysics, by Lee and Stewart, will provide a benchmark for the progress made to date.
