Journal ArticleDOI
Potentially induced earthquakes in Oklahoma, USA: Links between wastewater injection and the 2011 Mw 5.7 earthquake sequence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the largest earthquake potentially related to injection, an Mw 5.7 earthquake in November 2011 in Oklahoma, and show that the tip of the initial rupture plane is within ∼200 m of active injection wells and within ∼1 km of the surface; 30% of early aftershocks occur within the sedimentary section.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collateral damage: Evolution with displacement of fracture distribution and secondary fault strands in fault damage zones
TL;DR: This article showed that the apparent break in scaling between small and large faults is due to the nucleation of secondary faults and not a change in process, which is consistent with a stochastic model where strand formation is related to the number of fractures within the damage zone, which in turn is a function of displacement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Remote Earthquake Triggering at Fluid-Injection Sites in the Midwestern United States
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in the midwestern United States, some areas with increased human-induced seismicity are also more prone to further earthquakes triggered by the seismic waves from large, remote earthquakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of acoustic waves on stick–slip in granular media and implications for earthquakes

TL;DR: It is shown that small-magnitude failure events, corresponding to triggered aftershocks, occur when applied sound-wave amplitudes exceed several microstrain, indicating a strain memory in the granular material.

TL;DR: Observations suggest that SSEs and associated slow earthquake phenomena are promoted by lithological, mechanical, and frictional heterogeneity within the fault zone, enhanced by geometric complexity associated with subduction of rough crust.
