The researchers used data from the borehole seismometers to calculate the underlying rock's Poisson's ratio. This ratio measures the 3D elastic properties of rocks: think about a sponge, Huang says.

Understanding the mechanical properties of rocks, particularly their uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), is critical for the design and safety of infrastructure projects, mining operations and ...
