*"*
*Developing a Numerical Platform for Studying Induced Seismicity based
on Energy Calculation**"*
*Zoheir Khademian *
*Mining Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines*
Induced seismicity is one of the challenges in practicing Rock
Engineering Activities, including mining, tunneling, deep wastewater
disposal, and geothermal energy extraction. Excavation in the highly
stressed ground may lead to a seismic event characterized by significant
radiation of seismic energy. Injection of fluid into fractured rock in deep
wastewater disposal and geothermal reservoirs can also induce rupture
along preexisting discontinuity with an earthquake-like seismic
signature. This talk will present a numerical platform for
mechanistically studying the occurrence and magnitudes of induced
seismic events.
*Tuesday, March 27th**, 2018*
*2-3pm (Mountain Time)*
*USGS, 1711 Illinois Street, Golden, CO*
*Entry Level Seminar Room*
*Note: Please arrive *~5 minutes early* and *bring photo ID* for
airport-style security measures now in place at the USGS building.
Thank you,
