The International GEoREST Workshop on Induced Seismicity begins.
The problem of high-magnitude and uncontrolled induced seismicity has been a persistent concern in various subsurface systems for decades. Since the earliest observed cases in wastewater injection, research to limit induced seismicity and improve the safety of these systems has been ongoing. However, recent events in Pohang, Castor, Groningen, among others, have demonstrated that there is still much to learn in terms of physics and demand more efficient systems for characterization, monitoring, and forecasting.
Organized by Victor Vilarrasa, this workshop aims to foster discussion on the latest advances in understanding the process, subsurface characterization, and forecasting of induced seismicity. It will take place from March 11 to 13 at Can Oleo, Palma.
📅 Workshop Sessions:
Session 1: Understanding the causes of induced seismicity
Session 2: Can we forecast post-injection seismicity?
Session 3: Subsurface characterization
Session 4: Forecasting induced seismicity
Session 5: Case studies of induced seismicity
