The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) released a report projecting potential induced seismicity (man-caused earthquakes) across the United States in 2017 and found the number of people living in an area ...

Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction, often described as the phenomena of seismic generation of excess porewater pressures and consequent softening of granular soils, is a leading cause of earthquake ...

A cluster of small earthquakes shook the Coastal Bend on Wednesday, with most activity centered northwest of Corpus Christi, ...

Regulators got it wrong. A driller injecting waste triggered triple temblors in the Peace River region, finds the study.

Earthquakes are often treated as acts of nature that strike without warning along famous plate boundaries, yet a growing body of evidence shows that human activity can also trigger damaging shaking.

In 2023, Texas and California were nearly tied for the number of magnitude 3 and larger earthquakes, which is honestly kind of wild when you think about it. Texas isn't supposed to be earthquake ...

Earthquakes in the American state of Utah, the Soultz-sous-Forêts region of France or in the Dutch province of Groningen should not be able to occur even if the subsurface has been exploited for ...
