They are seeking to discover seismicity insights that could reduce risks. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at ...

Typically, researchers studying earthquakes place sensors near faults and wait, but at the BedrettoLab they deploy a ...

As industrial projects have expanded, and new technologies become available, we have seen a sharp rise in both the frequency and scale of human-induced earthquakes. Whilst this provides an opportunity ...

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 ...

(a) Geological units and earthquake distribution of an oceanic subduction zone. The orange shadow beneath the volcanic arc represents partially molten areas and magma channels. (b) Thermal structure ...

The Phlegraean Fields volcanic complex, located beneath the metropolitan area of Naples—a city of 900,000 inhabitants in Italy—has been rising increasingly since 2005, accompanied by a growing number ...

Our project aims to probe the mechanisms by which deep wastewater injection wells induce earthquakes, the potential for these earthquakes to cause damage to the built environment, and the social and ...

The regulatory team is documenting federal and state law for minimizing induced seismicity associated with wastewater disposal for oil and gas development and for mitigating the influence of injection ...

The depth of a hydraulic fracturing well in Oklahoma, among other factors, increases the probability that fracking will lead to earthquake activity, according to a new report. The depth of a hydraulic ...

This report has shown that induced seismicity may be associated with the development of different energy technologies involving fluid injection and sometimes fluid withdrawal (see, e.g., Chapter 3).
