DOI: 10.1785/0220240061
Abstract: Induced seismicity magnitude models seek to forecast upcoming magnitudes of induced earthquakes during the operation of subsurface industries such as hydraulic fracturing, geothermal stimulation, wastewater disposal (WWD), and carbon capture and storage. Accurate forecasting models… read more here.
