The Risks of Human-Induced Earthquakes

Explore the risks associated with human-induced earthquakes in this 28-minute press conference from the AGU Fall Meeting 2013. Delve into the scientific understanding of seismic events traced to human activities, including reservoirs, hydraulic fracturing, geothermal energy production, carbon sequestration, mining, and water irrigation. Learn from experts Christian Klose and Shemin Ge as they examine some of the largest human-caused seismic events and discuss the implications for various industries. Gain insights into mass shifts, natural earthquake occurrences, statistics, hydrogeology, water physics, and reservoir dynamics. This comprehensive overview provides valuable information for those interested in the intersection of human activities and seismic risks.
