Man-made Earthquakes and the Energy Transition
Profesor Ruben Juanes
Friday 01 Mar 2024 | Thom Building, Engineering Science
KIMBERLY-CLARK DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES 2024
While the most devastating earthquakes are of tectonic origin, human activities have been associated with the triggering of earthquakes that have caused substantial economic damage and societal concern. Critical gaps remain in our ability to understand and, more importantly, mitigate, the occurrence of induced earthquakes.
This lecture will discuss some of Prof. Juanes work employing contrasting approaches [...]
