CO2 injections likely culprit in Texas earthquakes -study
2013-11-05 01:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Carbon dioxide injected into oil and gas wells may have caused a series of minor earthquakes in Texas long before the adoption of current hydraulic fracking, according to a study published on Monday in a national science journal. The study, which analyzed 93 earthquakes that occurred between March 2009 and December 2010, appears to be the first to link earthquakes of magnitude 3 and above and carbon dioxide injections in the Cogdell oil field near Snyder, Texas. Tremors in the area that occurred...

Fracking triggered more than 100 earthquakes in Ohio
2013-09-05 21:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: A single fracking wastewater well triggered 167 earthquakes in and around Youngstown, Ohio, during a single year of operation. Thats according to a study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research by Won-Young Kim, a researcher at Columbia University. Earthquakes had never been recorded at Youngstown before 2010. Then, at the end of that year, frackers started pumping their waste from Marcellus Shale drilling projects into the 9,200-foot deep Northstar 1 injection well. Within two weeks,...

Earthquakes May Contribute to Methane Leaks
2013-08-03 16:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: And here's another shuddering twist to the horror story that is climate change: even earthquakes may play a role. Large quantities of methane may have escaped during a violent earthquake that shook the floor of the Arabian Sea in 1945, according to German and Swiss researchers. David Fischer of the University of Bremen and colleagues from the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven and the ETH in Zurich explored the region in a research ship in 2007, and began to examine cores of sediment from...
