In November 2013, a series of earthquakes began along a mapped ancient fault system near Azle, Texas. Here we assess whether it is plausible that human activity caused these earthquakes. Analysis of both lake and groundwater variations near Azle shows that no significant stress changes were associated with the shallow water table before or during the earthquake sequence. In contrast, pore-press...

Kiirunavaara (Kiruna) iron ore mine owned by LKAB (Sweden) is one of the largest underground mines. Mining started in 1898 as an open pit mine. In mid-1950, the mine started a transition to underground mining and passed to only underground mining in 1962. More substantial problems with seismicity started in 2007-2008 when the deepest mining level was 907 m (ca. 670 m below surface). By 2016, th...

This paper focuses on aftershocks behavior and seismicity along some co-seismic faults for large earthquakes in Iran. The data of aftershocks and seismicity roughly extracted from both the Institute of Geophysics the University of Tehran (IGUT) and International Seismological Center (ISC) catalogs. Apply some essential methods on 43 large earthquakes data; like the depth, magnitude as well as t...

The region of northeastern France is affected by low-magnitude background seismicity, with the rare occurrence moderate earthquakes, which gives this a non-negligible seismic risk. We provide an overview seismicity and seismotectonics intraplate domain its sub-regions: Upper-Rhine Graben (URG), external range foreland Jura, Vosges, northern southern Belgium. Previously published catalogues over...

Abstract We propose a statistical analysis method to identify common features of seismic activity that are indistinguishable from most other seismicity, and find anomalous differs these features. Using the hypocenter catalog earthquakes which occurs in around Japan during past 20 years, we apply this for parameters frequency-magnitude distribution parameter expresses correlation seismicity with...

Abstract Dams are parts of the critical infrastructure any nation, failure which would have a high-risk potential on people and properties within dam vicinity. Ghana is one most seismically active regions in West Africa has at least 5 large dams across region, constructed strategic locations. The area characterised by low-to-moderate seismicity, yet historical events suggest that major earthqua...
