Potential for Continental Scientific Drilling to Inform Fault Mechanics and Earthquake Science

Seismica
Our understanding of fault mechanics and earthquake processes remains limited, largely due to minimal direct observations near active faults at seismogenic depths.

Impact of CO2 geological sequestration on the nucleation of earthquakes

, 2011
Can CO2 storage cause earthquakes? What is the maximum possible earthquake magnitude resulting from CO2 injection? Here, as a theoretical case study we investigate these questions using coupled hydromechanical modeling with multiphase flow and seismological variables for quantifying earthquake magnitude and energy.

How do earthquakes start? A seismological investigation into earthquake nucleation and determinism

Scientists continue to debate many questions about the beginnings of earthquakes. At the single event scale, what processes go on in the earliest stages of rupture, and do they depend on magnitude? At a large scale, what processes cause earthquakes to occur when they do, and can foreshocks give insights into earthquake nucleation?
