Diffuse degassing through the soil is commonly observed in volcanic areas and monitoring
of carbon dioxide flux at the surface can provide a safe and effective way to infer the state of …

The moment magnitude (M w ) 5.5 earthquake that struck South Korea in November 2017
was one of the largest and most damaging events in that country over the past century. Its …

Due to the deep socioeconomic implications, induced seismicity is a timely and increasingly
relevant topic of interest for the general public. Cases of induced seismicity have a global …

Anthropogenic operations involving underground fluid extraction or injection can cause
unexpectedly large and even damaging earthquakes, despite operational and regulatory efforts. …

A systematic decay of the aftershock rate over time is one of the most fundamental empirical
laws in Earth science. However, the equally fundamental effect of a mainshock on the size …

We performed a series of hydraulic stimulations at 1.1 km depth in the Bedretto underground
laboratory, Switzerland, as part of an overall research strategy attempting to understand …

Induced seismicity due to natural gas production is observed at different sites worldwide.
Common understanding states that the pressure drop caused by gas production leads to …

We derive a unifying formulation, reliable at all scales, linking Anderson's faulting theory
with the earthquake size-distribution, whose exponent is known as the b-value. Anderson's …

The success of geological carbon storage depends on the assurance of a permanent
confinement of the injected CO 2 in the storage formation at depth. One of the critical elements of …

Successful carbon injection operations depend critically on the management of risks, like
induced seismicity. Here, we consider the bowtie risk management framework to organize pre-…
