Session ID#: 13101
Session Description:
The increase of man-made earthquakes in the United States and Canada has generated immense research effort to understand and mitigate seismicity caused by fluid movement in the Earth’s brittle crust. Waste water disposal and hydraulic fracturing appear to be the main two causes of induced seismicity. However, physical process understanding of fluid induced seismicity at multiple scales will contribute to understanding and mitigation of induced seismicity. Moreover, it is important to understand differences and similarities of induced and natural earthquakes. We invite contributions related to induced and triggered earthquakes in the United States and Canada. Case studies, geomechanics, numerical modelling, laboratory experiments, ground motion prediction, statistical and quantitative methods and seismic hazard assessment and mitigation are welcome.
