What is Induced Seismicity? Although it may seem like science fiction, human-made earthquakes have been a reality for decades. It has long been understood that earthquakes can be induced by ...

This study should build on the information already existing on this subject from a variety of sources, including recent workshops focused on induced seismicity. The study will focus on areas of ...

Three million Americans, primarily in Oklahoma and Kansas, are at risk from human-induced earthquakes this year, the U.S. Geological Survey said Wednesday. That's the conclusion of a new report ...

White, Isabel, Taojun Liu ~, Nicolas Luco and Abbie B. Liel. “Considerations in comparing the USGS induced-one-year seismicity models with “Did You Feel It?” and instrumental data”, Seismological ...

In 2011, I wrote a story about the induced seismicity issue and focused on a swarm of smallish quakes under Steuben County in 2001 that apparently were triggered by injection of salt water into ...

In this diagram of an injection operation, the blue and red areas represent the spatial footprint of induced seismicity for injection into basement rock (blue) or the overlying sedimentary layer (red) ...

Across the central US, most notably in Oklahoma, it's that second part--the wastewater injection wells-- that have been linked to something called induced seismicity. For years, conventional ...

"We wanted to see then if the tools we were using in the eastern and central U.S., which were working pretty well to distinguish natural and induced seismicity, would work as well or at all in the ...
