This report ;resents the results of a 7 year Bureau of Mines Im~ogram to review, revise, az~ make an effective emgineerimg tool of the microseismic method of d e t e ~ i~g the stability of rock structures. The program consisted of developimg new microselsmic equilmment amd data a~sis tech/llques ard extensive field investigations to demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of the broadband microseismic method. The guidelines far choosimg the camponents of a microseismic system are presented along with approximate cost figures. Different microseismlc systems are discussed, includimg completely automated systems. Procedures for comductimg mlcroselemic investigations and analyzing microseismic data are discussed in detail. Field situations that show the full value of the microselemic technique as an engineerir~ tool are described.

INST.M03COW,V33,1974, P133-143 • This paper is open to discussion. The Editorial Board believes that the suggested method may be useful in the solution of theoretical ~oblems concerning the development and propagation of relieving Joints, but hardly to be recommended for the solution of practical l~obless due to great time consmnption needed for practical application of the method and to the fact that the method itself is subjective to a certain extent. The investigations should employ more simlxle, rapid az~ - as much as possible - s t a r ~ methods allowing for rapid and economic solution of ~roblems related to design and construction of large dams.

High altitude U-2 aircraft data were used tO supplement ERTS-1 imagery data and were correlated with mapped faults in the study area in Alabama. ~hese correlations prOvide clues to f/~e structural development of the Warrior coal basin amd may be used as a guide to the ~edic%ion of roof stability conditions in advance of mining.

The computer-aided classification of multlspectral scanner data can be am effective aid to soil surveying by virtue of its ability to quickly identify gross variations in soil features. Variations in soll tone are easily seen as well as variations in features related to soil tome
