description This article reviews rotational seismology, considering different areas of interest, as well as measuring devices used for rotational events investigations. After a short theoretical description defining the fundamental parameters, the authors summarized data published in the literature in areas such as the indirect numerical investigation of rotational effects, rotation measured during earthquakes, teleseismic wave investigation, rotation induced by artificial explosions, and mining activity. The fundamental data on the measured rotation parameters and devices used for the recording are summarized and compared for the above areas. In the section on recording the rotational effects associated with artificial explosions and mining activities, the authors included results recorded by a rotational seismograph of their construction—FOSREM (fibre-optic system for rotational events and phenomena monitoring). FOSREM has a broad range of capabilities to measure rotation rates, from several dozen nrad/s to 10 rad/. It can be controlled remotely and operated autonomously for a long time. It is a useful tool for systematic seismological investigations in various places. The report concludes with a short discussion of the importance of rotational seismology and the great need to obtain experimental data in this field.
