Gigatonne scale geological storage of carbon dioxide and energy (such as hydrogen) will
be central aspects of a sustainable energy future, both for mitigating CO2 emissions and …

Geological storage of CO2 in depleted oil and gas reservoirs is approved due to its
advantages, such as strong storage capacity, good sealing performance, and complete …

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

Geothermal energy is often referred to as a niche technology that is too localized, too small
or too expensive to make much of a difference in how renewable energy will be supplied in …

This paper investigates the frictional behavior of the infilled rock fracture under dynamic
normal stress. A series of direct shear tests were conducted on saw-cut granite fractures …

The frictional rupture mechanisms of rock discontinuities considering the dynamic load
disturbance still remain unclear. This paper investigates the transitional behaviors of slip …

The accuracy and robustness of numerical models of geologic CO 2 sequestration are
almost never quantified with respect to direct observations that provide a ground truth. Here …

The high-angle faults bounding the High Agri Valley Basin eastwards are well-exposed at
the Viggiano Mt., southern Italy. There, these faults crosscut Mesozoic shallow-water …

Moderate to strong earthquakes have been induced worldwide by shale gas development,
however, it is still unclear what factors control their behaviors. Here we use local seismic …

The dependence on fossil fuels is the primary cause of the increased carbon dioxide
emissions into the atmosphere that have resulted in drastic global climate changes due to …
