The following topics are discussed: principal types of mine tremors, double-couple and non-double-couple focal mechanisms, seismic moment tensor, seismic source modeling, seismic spectra and source parameters, scaling relations, and attenuation and scattering affects. Special attention is paid to practical aspects of mine-induced seismicity studies, adapted from relevant studies of natural seismicity.} }
