To date, our group has investigated multiple aspects on induced earthquakes and their impact on infrastructure. Aspects of this completed research include how much the seismic hazard has increased, ...

Using questionnaires created to determine whether a particular earthquake is natural or induced by human activity, a panel of experts concluded that the November 2022 magnitude 5.2 Peace River ...

Scientists from the University of Waterloo have developed a map showing which regions and population centers of Western Canada are likely to experience earthquakes induced by underground energy ...

A new kind of earthquake has been detected in western Canada, one that shakes the ground slower and longer than typical seismic events. These earthquakes, recorded during hydraulic fracturing for oil ...

Using a method that works backward from a set of observed earthquakes to test seismic models that fit those observations, researchers working in the Delaware Basin were able to determine whether ...

Rock rheology governs the deformation of rocks in reaction to forces within the Earth's interior. Rheology is the scientific study of material properties, specifically focusing on the relationship ...
