Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the causes behind the dramatic increase in earthquakes in Oklahoma and other non-traditional seismic zones in this 52-minute press conference from the AGU Fall Meeting 2012. Delve into new research findings from Oklahoma and Texas that investigate the connection between hydraulic fracturing operations and increased seismic activity. Learn from experts Art McGarr, Austin Holland, and Cliff Frohlich as they discuss the timing, causes, and limits of these typically small-scale earthquakes, shedding light on whether they are natural occurrences or induced by human activities.
