A barragem do A?u constitui um exemplo cl?ssicode sismicidade induzida por reservat?rio e j? foi alvo de diversos estudos.Recentemente, ap?s um consider?vel per?odo sem que houvesse atividade s?smicana barragem, o LabSis/UFRN registrou, por meio de uma esta??o regional, eventosrelacionados com o a?ude, o que motivou a instala??o de uma rede local ao redorda barragem. A partir dos dados provenientes dessa rede, observou-se que aatividade s?smica est? relacionada com uma nova ?rea epicentral dento dabarragem. Os par?metros hipocentrais dessa atividade foram determinados, bemcomo o respectivo mecanismo focal. Verificou-se que eventos estavamrelacionados com a reativa??o do embasamento em uma nova falha subvertical comorienta??o NE-SW subparalela a falha de S?o Rafael. Esses resultados foramutilizados na elabora??o de um artigo cient?fico, o qual discutiu a rela??odessa sismicidade com a geologia da regi?o e tamb?m com o n?vel de ?gua doreservat?rio. O artigo mostrou que a difus?o da press?o de poro foi o mecanismoque controlou o disparo da sismicidade induzida na barragem. / The seismic activity in the Northeastern of Brazil has been a constant target of study, since it is the most active region of the country. However, some areas have their earthquakes related to human action, what means they are induced. The A?u dam is a classic example of reservoir-induced seismicity and it has been the subject of several studies. Recently, after a considerable period of inactivity, the LabSis / UFRN recorded events related to the dam, which led to the installation of a network around the reservoir. From the data provided by this network, it was observed that the seismic activity is related to a new epicental area inside the lake. The epicentral parameters and the focal mechanism were determined. It was found that the events were related to the reactivation of a basement structure in a new seismogenic subvertical fault with NE-SW-striking subparallel to the S?o Rafael Fault. These results were used in the preparation of a scientific paper, which discussed the relationship between this seismicity with the geology of the region and with the reservoir water level. The paper showed that the diffusion of pore pressure was the main mechanism that controlled the triggering of the induced seismicity at the reservoir.
