Research Abstract

We have developed a simple method for installing a deep borehole seismometer inside a preexisting well. The developed points are (1)double-casing system down to the well-bottom to protect effects due to well-water movement, (2)boring at the bottom of the preexisting well to install the borehole seismometer, (3)damping system to protect vibration noises propagating the inner casing, and (4)use of an optical fiber cable to transmit the digital data. Our system is easy to install and take up the borehole seismometer.
We have confirmed our system comparing the seismograms with those by the other borehole seismometers. Micro-earthquake activity beneath Sapporo urban districts has been studied based on data from several borehole seismometers. The epicentral distribution shows a linear trend with the NW-SE direction ; this might represent a blind fault beneath Sapporo urban districts. Finally we have studied the seismic response of sedimentary layers based on surface and borehole seismic data.
