CAREER: Fluid-driven Deformation in Underground Salt Caverns and Wastewater Injection Site — NSF Award to University of Arizona (A
Earthquakes caused by human activities - such as wastewater injection, geothermal extraction, and underground carbon storage - tend to be small. With notable exceptions, such as the 2016 Pawnee Oklahoma earthquake, these earthquakes often hide below cultural seismic noise. This presents a challenge for both monitoring

| Abstract | Earthquakes caused by human activities - such as wastewater injection, geothermal extraction, and underground carbon storage - tend to be small. With notable exceptions, such as the 2016 Pawnee Oklahoma earthquake, these earthquakes often hide below cultural seismic noise. This presents a challenge for both monitoring and detecting them. It impedes studying their causes and assessing corresponding hazards. In the U.S., regions that have been free of earthquakes are now pressed to find reliable w |
