Using Acoustic Emission data from triaxial fracture experiments performed in our laboratory on Westerly Granite samples, Andrew Patton published a paper in Physical Rewiew E entitled “Large-scale heterogeneities can alter the characteristics of compressive failure and accelerated seismic release”. The…
Patricia Martínez-Garzón and I published a manuscript entitled “Induced earthquake potential in geothermal reservoirs: Insights from The Geysers, California” in The Leading Edge. The article provides an exciting overview of our past research on induced seismicity associated with the biggest…
We recently published a paper entitled “Seismic Moment Evolution During Hydraulic Stimulations” in Geophysical Research Letters. In the paper we analyze the magnitude and seismic moment evolution with injection parameters for prominent geothermal and scientific projects to date. In most…
Together with Yehuda Ben-Zion we published a paper in Journal of Geophysical Research. The paper is entitled “Assessment of P and S wave energy radiated from very small shear-tensile seismic events in a deep South African mine“. The publication is…
