1. INTRODUCTION

Over the past 30 years, in an effort to improve seismic hazard prediction, seismologists have turned to active geophysical monitoring methods, using powerful seismic vibrators to investigate changes in the geologic medium’s stressed-deformed state within seismically active zones. This scientific direction has been vigorously pursued at institutes within the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy ...
