Fracking technique raises prospect of better prediction of mega-earthquakes

Geology and Geophysics

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

An experiment has shed light on how controversial human activities such as fracking can cause small earthquakes. This may enable better controls of hazardous techniques. But it could have even greater relevance as a way to predict big earthquakes and other natural hazards.
