HotRocks/!Seismic/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Double click on the application icon to
hear sampled microseismic sounds generated
during one of the major recent hydraulic
stimulation experiments in naturally fractured
granite at the Camborne School of Mines
Geothermal Energy project.
The sounds are made when energy is released
by the tiny microearthquakes which occur
when water is forced under pressure through
natural fractures in the granite.
Many thanks to Ampsound for providing the
