Fluid-injection-induced earthquakes characterized by hybrid-frequency waveforms manifest the transition from aseismic to seismic slip
Aseismic slip loading has recently been proposed as a complementary mechanism to
induce moderate-sized earthquakes located within a few kilometers of the wellbore over the …
