QuakeFinder: Is earthquake prediction finally a reality?
2013-04-15 16:31:34| Extremetech
While many scientists have declared earthquake prediction impossible, the team at QuakeFinder has successfully identified large increases in magnetic activity days and even weeks before quakes near their sensor stations. Their next challenge is to make the detection process automatic and the predictions accurate enough to be useful.

Scientists Say Oil Industry Likely Caused Largest Oklahoma Earthquake
2013-03-29 20:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: The largest recorded earthquake in Oklahoma history was likely triggered by the injection of wastewater from oil production into wells deep beneath the earth, according to a study published Tuesday in the scientific journal Geology. The magnitude 5.7 earthquake, which struck in 2011 near Prague in central Oklahoma, is the largest and most recent of a number of quakes scientists have tied to wastewater injection from oil and natural gas production, raising new concerns about the practice. Advanced...

Wastewater Injection Linked to Oklahomas Largest Earthquake
2013-03-28 22:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: The rising number of earthquakes in normally calm parts of Arkansas, Texas, Ohio and Colorado are linked to the underground injection of wastewater, finds a new study in the journal "Geology." As an example, the study authors point to the magnitude 5.7 earthquake near Prague, Oklahoma on November 6, 2011. The largest quake ever recorded in Oklahoma, this quake is also the largest ever linked to wastewater injection. The quake destroyed 14 homes in the Shawnee-Sparks area, buckled a federal highway...

Fracking 'linked to biggest Oklahoma earthquake'
2013-03-27 12:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists say wastewater injection from hydraulic fracturing was linked to a magnitude-5.7 earthquake that struck the US state of Oklahoma in 2011. Fracking, as it is known, injects water and chemicals into petroleum wells in a bid to extract trapped natural gas. Opponents of the practice say that it risks causing seismic events and contaminating groundwater. The study in Geology shows that "induced seismicity" can occur years after wastewater injection begins. Most seismic events linked...
