The region experiences unusual seismic activity related to the reservoir impoundment, with earthquakes of magnitude up to 4.7. In result of cooperation between the Institute of Geophysics, Vietnam Academy of Sciences and Technology and the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences a seismic network has been built to facilitate seismic monitoring of the Song Tranh 2 area. The network, operating since August 2013, consists of 10 seismic stations. Here we show that the network is sufficient for advanced data processing. The first results of monitoring of the earthquake activity in Song Tranh 2 area in the period between 2012 and 2014, especially the completeness of catalogs, study and comparisons between water level and the seismic activity suggest direct connection between reservoir exploitation and anthropogenic seismicity. date: 2015 date_type: published publication: Acta Geophysica volume: 63 number: 3 publisher: De Gruyter pagerange: 843-862 id_number: doi:10.1515/acgeo-2015-0021 issn: 1895-7455 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/acgeo-2015-0021 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher acknowledgments2: IS-EPOS_platform acknowledgments2: IS-EPOS_project citation: Wiszniowski, Jan and Giang, Nguyen Van and Plesiewicz, Beata and Lizurek, Grzegorz and Van, Dinh Quoc and Khoi, Le Quang and Lasocki, Stanislaw (2015) Preliminary Results of Anthropogenic Seismicity Monitoring in the Region of Song Tranh 2 Reservoir, Central Vietnam.
