Earthquakes attributable to human activities are called induced seismic events or induced earthquakes. In the past several years induced seismic events related to energy development projects have ...

To date, our group has investigated multiple aspects on induced earthquakes and their impact on infrastructure. Aspects of this completed research include how much the seismic hazard has increased, ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Over the last decade, seismologists have demonstrated a troubling corollary of the extraordinary shale boom: the disposal of liquid waste from fracking operations and other fossil fuel production has ...

Wastewater injection resulting from oil and gas production in Oklahoma caused a dramatic rise in seismic activity in the state between 2009 and 2015. But regulatory efforts to backfill some injection ...

The Tiampo group uses InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) to study the surface deformation associated with induced seismicity. InSAR time-series analysis, achieved through a collection of ...

Induced seismicity refers to earthquakes and seismic events that are directly or indirectly triggered by human activities that alter the state of stress or pore-fluid pressure in the Earth's crust.
