Identification of the ground movements caused by mining-induced seismicity with the satellite interferometry [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2020 The assessment of the impact of mining-induced seismicity on the natural environment and infrastructure is often limited to the analysis of terrain surface vibrations.

Hydraulic Fracturing‐Induced Seismicity [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2020 AbstractHydraulic fracturing (HF) is a technique that is used for extracting petroleum resources from impermeable host rocks. In this process, fluid injected under high pressure causes fractures to propagate. This technique has been transformative for the hydrocarbon industry, unlocking otherwise stranded resources; however, environmental concerns make

Energies, 2023 Hydraulic fracturing (HF) can trigger induced seismicity, but documented occurrences tend to be localized compared with the regional extent of industry operations.

Validating induced seismicity forecast models—Induced Seismicity Test Bench [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2016 AbstractInduced earthquakes often accompany fluid injection, and the seismic hazard they pose threatens various underground engineering projects. Models to monitor and control induced seismic hazard with traffic light systems should be probabilistic, forward‐looking, and updated as new data arrive.

A novel approach to assessing nuisance risk from seismicity induced by UK shale gas development, with implications for future policy design [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 We propose a novel framework for assessing the risk associated with seismicity induced by hydraulic fracturing, which has been a notable source of recent public concern. The framework combines statistical forecast models for injection-induced seismicity,

Movers and Shakers: Stock Market Response to Induced Seismicity in Oil and Gas Business
Energies, 2021 Investors increasingly need to account for concerns about non-financial performance and to consider the environmental impact of fossil fuel investment. We analyze how financial investors appreciate induced seismicity in oil and gas fields in the US and ...

Global physics-based database of injection-induced seismicity [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Fluid injection into geological formations for energy resource development frequently induces (micro)seismicity. Moderate- to large-magnitude induced earthquakes may cause injuries and/or economic loss, with the consequence of jeopardizing the operation ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 A newly developed modelling framework is presented which specifically focusses on the central Oklahoma case and the high-volume injection of wastewater, which led to a surge of induced seismicity.

Induced Seismicity Reduces Seismic Hazard? [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 AbstractEarthquakes caused by human activities have been observed for decades. Often these are related to industrial activities pumping fluids into deep geologic formations, like with wastewater disposal. The simplest theory connecting these processes to earthquakes is straightforward: injection leads to fluid pressure changes that either reduce the ...
