There is striking evidence that the dynamics of the Earth crust is controlled by a wide variety
of mutually dependent mechanisms acting at different spatial and temporal scales. The …

Many aspects of earthquake mechanics remain an enigma as we enter the closing years of
the twentieth century. One potential bright spot is the realization that simple calculations of …

Apparent stress τa is defined as, where is the average shear stress loading the fault plane to
cause slip and η is the seismic efficiency, defined as Ea/W, where Ea is the energy radiated …

Seismicity at a gas reservoir located in the relatively stable Sichuan Basin, China, mirrors
the injection pressure of unwanted water, suggesting that the seismicity is injection induced …

2014 年8 月3 日在云南省鲁甸县发生MS 6.5 地震, 造成了巨大的人员伤亡和财产损失.
关于鲁甸地震的起因, 特别是鲁甸地震与溪洛渡水库之间的关系存在一些争议 …

The maximum possible earthquake related to gas production in Western Europe's largest
gas field, Groningen, Netherlands, is an urgent practical question. Here we show how to …

Enhanced geothermal systems, shale gas, and geological carbon sequestration all require
underground fluid injection in high-pressure conditions. Fluid injection creates fractures …

Seismically active mines generally experience an increase in seismic hazard due to rock
mass instability following blasting. Re-entry protocols commonly include measures to limit …

From a statistical point of view, a series of seismic events is seen as the n-element sample
from a stochastic process. If this process is stationary and memoryless then the complete …

A mb (Lg) 4.6 mainshock on January 16, 1994, in the Cacoosing valley, 10 km west of
Reading, southeastern Pennsylvania caused modified Mercalli VI‐VII intensities and the …
