*"*
*Developing a Numerical Platform for​ ​Studying Induced Seismicity based
on​ ​Energy Calculation**"*

*​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​-​3​​p​m​  (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,
