Evidence for Far-Field Wastewater Disposal Causing Recent Increases in Seismicity in Central and Northern Kansas The rate of felt earthquakes in Kansas increased dramatically in 2014, where most seismicity initially occurred in southern Kansas, and was attributed to large-volume wastewater disposal (WD) near the...

For anyone interested in induced seismicity in the Kansas or the Midwest, please check out our new paper in Seismica led by former KU postdoc Shannon Fasola. We show evidence for far-field triggering of earthquakes in Kansas due to wastewater injection.

Has no one suggested 2009’s direct to TV move “Megafault”? It starts with the USGU meeting (ridiculous AGU knockoff) in Washington DC even. The science is unbelievably bad.
