SUMMARY:Webinar: Hydraulic Fracturing Induced Seismicity
DESCRIPTION:Please register for Hydraulic Fracturing Induced Seismicity 
 on March 27\, 2019 2:00 PM EDT at: https://attendee.gotowebin
 ar.com/register/1567059553873980939\n\nPresented by: Dr. Rob S
 koumal\, Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow\, USGS - Menlo Park\n\nA
 bstract: Prior to 2015\, there were only a handful of documen
 ted cases of hydraulic fracturing induced seismicity in the 
 world. More recent research has demonstrated hydraulic fract
 uring induced seismicity is more common than previously thou
 ght and has included damaging earthquakes. In China\, hydraul
 ic fracturing induced earthquakes have caused millions of do
 llars in property damage and may have resulted in fatalities
 . Hydraulic fracturing in Canada has caused earthquakes as l
 arge as M 4.6. We have found that hundreds of stimulations i
 n Oklahoma have induced M < 4 earthquakes. Given the sequenc
 es in China and Canada\, should we expect M > 4 earthquakes t
 o be induced in the United States in the future\, or have the
 y already occurred? How can we reduce the likelihood of thes
 e events happening? What could we expect to happen in the fu
 ture? With a focus on the United States\, I will discuss a wi
 de range of successes and ongoing challenges related to hydr
 aulic fracturing induced seismicity.\n\nAfter registering\, you
