Published in 2019 at "Geotechnical and Geological Engineering"

DOI: 10.1007/s10706-019-00965-3

Abstract: We estimate the maximum magnitude scaling relationships for strike-slip earthquakes in Myanmar based on the well-investigated coseismic fault rupture of two earthquake events in Myanmar: the 2011 Tarlay and 2012 Thabeikkyin earthquakes. We compare the… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America"

DOI: 10.1785/0120240054

Abstract: Gas production in the Groningen field in the northern Netherlands began in 1963. Since 1991, many production-induced earthquakes have occurred—the largest reaching magnitude M 3.5 in 2012. In October 2023, the Dutch government closed the field—a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1785/0120240276

Abstract: In Bommer et al. (2024), we presented a critical review of the process through which the current logic tree for the maximum magnitude used in seismic hazard and risk calculations for induced earthquakes in Groningen was… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Seismological Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1785/0220240382

Abstract: We analyze the evolution of the rupture radius and maximum magnitude (Mmax) of injection-induced earthquakes on faults obeying rates and state friction. We define the radii of two different slip modes, aseismic (Ra) and seismic… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Engineering"

DOI: 10.4236/eng.2020.127036

Abstract: A key unknown limiting assessment of risk posed by inducing anomalous seismicity during hydraulic fracturing is the potential maximum magnitude of an event. To provide insights into the variation in maximum magnitude that can be… read more here.
