Investigations and new insights on earthquake mechanics from fault slip experiments

L Dong, Q Luo - Earth-Science Reviews, 2022 - Elsevier
Earthquakes occur mainly on active faults. Fault slip is closely related to seismicity and is
thus widely discussed in Geosciences, Seismology, and Engineering. Slip experiment is a …

InSAR data reveal that the largest hydraulic fracturing-induced earthquake in Canada, to date, is a slow-slip event

TS Eyre, S Samsonov, W Feng, H Kao, DW Eaton - Scientific reports, 2022 - nature.com
For tectonic earthquakes, slip rate spans a continuum from creep to supershear
earthquakes, where slow slip events (SSEs) are important in releasing stress without …

Stress features inferred from induced earthquakes in the Weiyuan shale gas block in southwestern China

R Chu, M Sheng - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library

Identification of repeating earthquakes: controversy and rectification

D Gao, H Kao, J Liu - Seismological Research Letters, 2023 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Repeating earthquakes (repeaters) are events that recurrently rupture the same fault patch
with nearly identical magnitudes. Although repeaters have been widely studied and utilized …

Volcanic precursor revealed by machine learning offers new eruption forecasting capability

From seismic quiescence to surged activity after decades of wastewater disposal: A case study in central‐west Alberta, Canada

H Yu, H Kao, R Visser, B Wang - Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Injection‐induced earthquakes associated with wastewater disposal (WD) in the Western
Canadian Sedimentary Basin are much fewer than those linked to hydraulic fracturing …

Inertial flow-induced fluid pressurization enhances the reactivation of rate-and-state faults

Y Zhang, Q Li, X Li, Y Tan - Computers and Geotechnics, 2024 - Elsevier
We reveal that inertial flow can introduce additional pressure perturbations which accelerate
the instability of critically stressed faults. We integrate a poroelastic spring-slider model with …
