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

Hot dry rock geothermal resources are widely distributed at various reservoir depths,
possessing high energy potential and substantial extraction prospects. Heat extraction …

On the afternoon of 15 November 2017, the coastal city of Pohang, Korea, was rocked by a
magnitude 5.5 earthquake (M w, US Geological Survey). Questions soon arose about the …

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in geological formations play a key role in
mitigating anthropogenic CO 2 emissions and achieving the aggressive goal of net-zero …

Geological storage is a valuable strategy for reducing CO 2 emissions to the atmosphere,
although seismicity induced by CO 2 injection can be a serious hazard that also becomes an …

We show that near–real-time seismic monitoring of fluid injection allowed control of induced
earthquakes during the stimulation of a 6.1-km-deep geothermal well near Helsinki, Finland …

Earthquake swarms attributed to subsurface fluid injection are usually assumed to occur on
faults destabilized by increased pore-fluid pressures. However, fluid injection could also …

The basic triggering mechanism underlying induced seismicity traces back to the mid‐1960s
that relied on the process of pore‐fluid pressure diffusion. The last decade has experienced …

Acoustic emission (AE) and particle flow code (PFC3D) are utilized to characterize
microcracking nature in mode-I fracture of coal with strong bursting liability. The microcracks …

Heat transported from deep within Earth's crust can be used to generate electricity or provide
direct heating by circulating fluid through permeable fracture networks in hot rock. Because …
