Hydrologists predict human-induced underground fluid fluxes to rise with climate change mitigation strategies like carbon sequestration. The impact of human activities -- such as greenhouse gas ...

Researchers report that the roughness of pre-existing faults and associated stress heterogeneity in geological reservoirs play a key role for causing human-made earthquakes, so-called runaway events.

A dramatic increase in the rate of earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S. since 2009 is associated with fluid injection wells used in oil and gas development, says a new study by the University ...

The dependence of the induced pore pressure on the operation parameters (injection rate, volume of fluid injected), on position and time, and on the hydraulic properties of the reservoir is ...
