Groundwater Depletion Is Destabilizing the San Andreas Fault & Increasing Earthquake Risk
2014-05-15 08:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Earth Island Journal: Depletion of groundwater in the San Joaquin Valley is having wide-ranging effects not just on the agricultural industry and the environment, but also on the very earth beneath our feet. Massive changes in groundwater levels in the southern Central Valley are changing the stresses on the San Andreas Fault, according to research published today. Researchers have known for some time that human activity can be linked to localized seismic effects. In particular, much of the debate about fracking in...

ABC: For the first time ever, on Monday the United States Geological Survey issued an earthquake advisory for a state east of the Rocky Mountains, Oklahoma. The USGS said on Monday that the risk of an earthquake of magnitude greater than 5.0 has noticeably increased in central Oklahoma. Robert Williams, a geophysicist with the USGS, said that the agency can't predict when or where the state's next earthquake might take place. "This is an advisory based on the increase in earthquake rate over the last...

Scientists: 'Fracking' should be part of assessing earthquake hazards
2014-05-01 15:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Researchers with the US Geological Survey are developing an estimate of earthquake hazards that for the first time includes hazards posed from earthquakes triggered or suspected to have been triggered by waste-water disposal wells used by the oil and gas industries. The effort stems from two earthquakes in 2011 that topped magnitude 5 and were suspected to have been triggered by waste-water injection one in southern Colorado, at magnitude 5.3, and another in Oklahoma, at magnitude 5.7. The Oklahoma...
