Earthquakes caused or influenced by human activity pose questions about subsurface fluids, faults and the stresses within rock. This U.S. Geological Survey report reviews induced seismicity associated with oil and gas operations, geothermal energy and geological carbon dioxide storage, then identifies research priorities for understanding and assessing the hazard.
The discussion brings together earthquake monitoring, improved catalogs, geodesy, laboratory rock mechanics, fault identification, pressure observations and numerical modeling. Maps, diagrams and case studies illustrate the relationships among industrial activity, geological setting and earthquake sequences. Later sections address short-term hazard forecasts, emerging research areas, data limitations and opportunities for collaboration. The complete 2024 technical report includes its references and original figures.
