More than 90% of magnitude 3 or greater earthquakes triggered by fluid injection in western Canada were preceded by detectable foreshocks, researchers report in Science—a finding that could strengthen efforts to forecast and mitigate induced seismic hazards. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4cnCZCg

scim.agForeshock productivity and rupture nucleation in injection-induced earthquakes in western CanadaForeshock activity is a key consideration in traffic-light protocol (TLP) to mitigate seismic risk from injection-induced earthquakes (IIEs). However, the seismogenic processes of IIE foreshocks remai...
