Multidisciplinary Approach to Identify and Mitigate Hazards from Induced Seismicity in Oklahoma

Explore a 22-minute conference talk from the 2014 AGU Fall Meeting that delves into the multidisciplinary approach used to identify and mitigate hazards from induced seismicity in Oklahoma. Gain insights into the significant increase in seismicity rates over a five-year period, with a focus on the potential link to salt-water disposal wells. Learn about the challenges of studying induced seismicity over a large area and the ongoing research efforts at the University of Oklahoma, including seismic monitoring, geological and geophysical characterization, hydrological modeling, and geomechanical studies. Discover the new regulations implemented by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and the collaborative efforts with the Oklahoma Geological Survey to address this pressing issue.
