Fault activation by hydraulic fracturing in western Canada.
Xuewei Bao,David W. Eaton +1 more
TL;DR: A template-based earthquake catalog from a seismically active Canadian shale play, combined with comprehensive injection data during a 4-month interval, shows that earthquakes are tightly clustered in space and time near hydraulic fracturing sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
The elusive lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB) beneath cratons
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare interpretations of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) beneath three well studied Archean regions: the Kaapvaal craton, the Slave craton and the Fennoscandian Shield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydraulic Fracturing and Seismicity in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin
Gail M. Atkinson,David W. Eaton,Hadi Ghofrani,Dan Walker,Burns A. Cheadle,Ryan Schultz,Robert Shcherbakov,Kristy F. Tiampo,Jeff Gu,Rebecca M. Harrington,Yajing Liu,Mirko van der Baan,Honn Kao +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the maximum-observed magnitude of events associated with hydraulic fracturing may exceed the predictions of an often-cited relationship between the volume of injected fluid and the maximum expected magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two crustal low-velocity channels beneath SE Tibet revealed by joint inversion of Rayleigh wave dispersion and receiver functions

TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution 3D image was obtained to reveal the distribution of low-velocity zones (LVZs) with unprecedented clarity, and the authors proposed that ductile flow within these channels, in addition to shear motion along strike-slip faults, played a significant role in accommodating intensive lithospheric deformation during the eastward expansion of Tibet in the Cenozoic.
