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

Hydraulic 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 …

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 …

Faults can slip seismically or aseismically depending on their hydromechanical properties,
which can be measured in the laboratory. Here, we demonstrate that fault slip induced by …

Injection-induced seismicity has become a major barrier to the development of geothermal
energy, because the complexity of fault behaviors and the lack of physical fundamentals …

Induced seismicity is a limiting factor for the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems
(EGS). Its causal mechanisms are not fully understood, especially those of post-injection …

Understanding the physical mechanisms governing fluid‐induced fault slip is important for
improved mitigation of seismic risks associated with large‐scale fluid injection. We …

Fluid pressure changes affect fault stability and can promote the initiation of earthquakes
and aseismic slip. However, the relationship between seismic and aseismic fault slip during …

This study reveals the important role of hydromechanical responses of large hydraulic
fractures in the cause and mechanisms of induced seismicity associated with the M w 5.5 …

Fluid injections into the deep subsurface can, at times, generate earthquakes, but often, they
only produce aseismic deformations. Here we analyze the influence of fault …
