Fault zones and fault systems have a key role in the development of the Earth's crust. They
control the mechanics and fluid flow properties of the crust, and the architecture of …

As recently as 2015, it was common in the scientific literature to find assertions that the risk
of triggering a damaging earthquake by hydraulic fracturing (HF)—an industrial process …

Deep drilling and induced seismicity experiments at several locations worldwide indicate
that, in general, the brittle crust in intraplate regions is critically stressed, pore pressures are …

The standard model of injection‐induced seismicity considers changes in Coulomb strength
due solely to changes in pore pressure. We consider two additional effects: full poroelastic …

The vibrant evolutionary patterns made by earthquake swarms are incompatible with
standard, effectively two-dimensional (2D) models for general fault architecture. We …

The confluence of our ability to handle big data, significant increases in instrumentation
density and quality, and rapid advances in machine learning (ML) algorithms have placed …

Wastewater disposal in the central US is likely responsible for an unprecedented surge in
earthquake activity. Much of this activity is thought to be driven by induced pore pressure …

Fluid injection can cause extensive earthquake activity, sometimes at unexpectedly large
distances. Appropriately mitigating associated seismic hazards requires a better …

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 …

Magma transport in brittle rock occurs by diking. Understanding the dynamics of diking and
its observable consequences is essential to deciphering magma propagation in volcanic …
