Induced seismicity observed during Enhanced Geothermal Stimulation at Otaniemi, Finland
is modeled using both statistical and physical approaches. The physical model produces …

Swarms are bursts of earthquakes without an obvious mainshock. Some have been
observed to be associated with transient aseismic fault slip, while others are thought to be …

Deep geothermal power plants in the Upper Rhine Graben (URG) harness natural hot
brines circulating within the fracture network of basement rocks. The nature and geometry of …

The investigation of the energy evolution of coal under the coupling of the bedding plane
and confining pressure is critical to engineering failure analysis. However, there are few …

Coal strength and deformability anisotropy are one of the important contents of deep rock
mechanics, as well as a crucial aspect influencing the secure and efficient exploitation of …

En-echelon fractures widely exist in natural rock masses. Although the formation and
occurrence features of en-echelon fractures have been extensively studied by geologists …

Geophysical logs collected from a deep borehole drilled into the North American Craton in
Northeastern Alberta shed valuable light on the state of stress in stable cratons. Observed …

Eclogitisation is a major metamorphic process of continental subduction zones, where
transformation of dry lower crustal rocks into eclogites seems to correlate with seismogenic …

For underground deep mines, mining activities often cause mining disasters such as rock
burst, roof fall and water inrush. Especially for underwater mines in the fault zone …

Understanding fluid flow in rough fractures is of high importance to large scale geologic
processes and to most anthropogenic geo‐energy activities. Here we conducted fluid …
