Physics of earthquakes source, Earthquake scaling relations, mining- and geothermal- induced seismicity.

• Source properties and scaling relations of the picoseismicity from deep gold mines in South Africa (project JAGUARS).
• Analysis of the induced seismicity related to Enhanced Geothermal Systems at Gross Schoenebeck and Berlin Geothermal Field (project GEISER).
