Characterization of the subsurface from evaluating low amplitude seismic recordings
(2023-07)A geoscientist yearns to learn more about the subsurface and one way of characterizing the subsurface is through active seismic methods which utilize a local source to initiate a strong waveform (e.g., explosives, vibroseis, ... -
Evaluation of hydrogeologic data in USGS areas of potentially induced seismicity
(2016-12)The Central and Eastern United States have experienced an increase in seismic activity within the last forty years with a corresponding concern from the public regarding the associated seismic hazard. In 2015, the United ... -
MULTISCALE SPATIOTEMPORAL ANALYSES OF SEISMICITY AND WASTEWATER INJECTION IN OKLAHOMA
(2017-05)The increase in seismicity in Oklahoma since 2009 has been primarily attributed to wastewater disposal, however, the extent and nature of the relationship is not clear. On the state level, there is no statistically significant ... -
SEISMICITY AND SOURCE SPECTRA ANALYSIS IN SALTON SEA GEOTHERMAL FIELD
(2016)The surge of “man-made” earthquakes in recent years has led to considerable concerns about the associated hazards. Improved monitoring of small earthquakes would significantly help understand such phenomena and the underlying ... -
Three Dimensional Thermo-poroelastic Modeling of Fluid Injection and Induced Microseismicity in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
(2018)Interests in naturally fractured reservoirs have grown rapidly in recent years due to the increasing energy needs. Understanding the behavior of naturally fractured reservoirs would be beneficial for a variety of engineering ...
