Induced seismicity, oil/gas wastewater injection and poroelastic modeling

Induced seismicity, oil/gas wastewater injection and poroelastic response simulation
Our work on a M5 earthquake event in west Texas and its relation with the 
poroelastic response caused by the nearby deep injection wells has been published in Geophysical Research Letter. We show that the 2020 Mentone, West Texas M5 earthquake likely triggered by deep brine disposal.
