Hydraulic fracturing (HF) at Preston New Road (PNR), Lancashire, United Kingdom, in
August 2019, induced a number of felt earthquakes. The largest event (⁠ ML 2.9) occurred …

The development of robust forecasts of human‐induced seismicity is highly desirable to
mitigate the effects of disturbing or damaging earthquakes. We assess the performance of a …

Abstract Summary findings are presented from an investigation to improve understanding of
the environmental risks associated with developing an unconventional-hydrocarbons …

In August 2019, a multistage hydraulic fracturing (HF) operation was carried out at Preston
New Road, United Kingdom. HF caused abundant seismic activity that culminated with an …

We adopt extreme value theory to estimate the upper limit of the next record‐breaking
magnitudes of induced seismic events. The methodology is based on order statistics and …

Induced earthquakes pose a serious hurdle to subsurface energy development. Concerns
about induced seismicity led to terminal public opposition of hydraulic fracturing in the UK …

Machine learning (ML) phase pickers, like PhaseNet, have emerged as valuable tools for
automated phase picking. However, their potential benefits have been largely unexplored in …

The temporal variability of the seismicity is a phenomenon that occurs in aftershock
sequences or induced seismicity applications, the former being the most devastating from …

Hydraulic fracturing (HF) has made it possible to economically produce hydrocarbons
directly from low‐permeability reservoirs such as shales by injecting high pressure fluids to …

Working with a simplistic notion of release from bondage as “freedom”, mainstream anti-
trafficking activists focus on rescue. They argue that victims of trafficking are “free” once …
