An open data infrastructure for the study of anthropogenic hazards linked to georesource exploitation.

Mining, water-reservoir impoundment, underground gas storage, geothermal energy exploitation and hydrocarbon extraction have the potential to cause rock deformation and earthquakes, which may be hazardous for people, infrastructure and the environment. Restricted access to data constitutes a barrier to assessing and mitigating the associated hazards. Thematic Core Service Anthropogenic Hazards (TCS AH) of the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) provides a novel e-research infrastructure.

Evidence for subcritical rupture of injection-induced earthquakes.

Seismicity induced by geo-engineering operations may be hazardous for people, infrastructure and the environment. The crucial information for assessing induced seismic hazards and related risks is knowledge of the time-dependent strength of rocks and the deformation due to fluid injection. Our studies of seismic and injection data from a geothermal field indicate that pressurized injections lead to rock fracturing at stress levels below the rock toughness, i.
