description: The present review of seismicity induced by mining is a continuation of the previous reviews, published in 1990 and 2001 in Advances in Geophysics, describing the problems involved and the state-of-the-art of relevant research in this field at the end of 1980s and 1990s. During the last decade, seismic monitoring has been expanded in several mining districts, a number of new techniques have been introduced, and new significant results have been obtained in studies of seismic events induced by mining. This review is organized similarly to some extent to the previous ones. New techniques in seismic monitoring in mines, mining factors affecting seismicity, source mechanisms and source time functions, source parameters and their scaling relations are briefly discussed. Precursory phenomena observed in mines and some attempts at prediction of larger events are reviewed. The new results obtained so far by the Japanese research group in South African gold mines, the concepts of stress diffusion and of “critical earthquakes” applied to seismicity in mines, and numerical modeling of rock mass response to mining are also briefly discussed.
