In this overview we report results of analysing induced seismicity in geothermal reservoirs in various tectonic settings within the framework of the European Geothermal Engineering …
Induced seismicity associated with fluid injection into underground formations jeopardizes the sustainable utilization of the subsurface. Understanding the fault behavior is the key to …
An unprecedented increase in earthquakes associated with hydraulic stimulation has been recognized as a major barrier to the development of enhanced geothermal systems …

An unusual increase in seismicity rate near the development and production sites of unconventional energy (eg, natural gas and geothermal fluids) has been attributed to …
Geotechnical and hydrogeological data from well bore logs and rock cores were used to identify, map, and model the power production potential of geothermal reservoirs in …
This study aims at evaluating the spatial and temporal distribution of 26 micro-seismic events which were triggered by hydraulic stimulation at the geothermal site of Groß …
Understanding the mechanisms of injection-induced seismicity is critical for managing the anthropogenic geohazard, which recently hinders the development of geothermal energy …
