Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is a technique that is used for extracting petroleum resources from
impermeable host rocks. In this process, fluid injected under high pressure causes fractures …

Earthquakes occur mainly on active faults. Fault slip is closely related to seismicity and is
thus widely discussed in Geosciences, Seismology, and Engineering. Slip experiment is a …

Models for hydraulic fracturing–induced earthquakes in shales typically ascribe fault
activation to elevated pore pressure or increased shear stress; however, these mechanisms …

For tectonic earthquakes, slip rate spans a continuum from creep to supershear
earthquakes, where slow slip events (SSEs) are important in releasing stress without …

The primary processes driving seismic swarms are still under debate. Here, we study the
temporal evolution of a seismic swarm that occurred over a 10‐day period in October 2015 …

Fluid pressure changes affect fault stability and can promote the initiation of earthquakes
and aseismic slip. However, the relationship between seismic and aseismic fault slip during …

The mechanisms of permeability and friction evolution in a natural fault are investigated in
situ. During three fluid injection experiments at different places in a fault zone, we measured …

Seismic swarms, in natural contexts or induced by anthropogenic fluid injections, commonly
show migrations of earthquake hypocenters. Classically, such migrations are interpreted as …

Induced seismicity observed during Enhanced Geothermal Stimulation at Otaniemi, Finland
is modeled using both statistical and physical approaches. The physical model produces …

Abstract Enhanced Geothermal Systems could provide a substantial contribution to the
global energy demand if their implementation could overcome inherent challenges …
