Statistics and Attributes of Earthquakes Across Texas
Offered By: Bureau of Economic Geology via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the history, causes, and characteristics of earthquakes in Texas in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into recorded seismic activity dating back to the early 1900s and examine how all six major basins in Texas are associated with different types of man-made seismicity. Analyze risk factors for individual seismic clusters, considering injection types like wastewater disposal and hydraulic fracturing, as well as location within basins. Focus on the western Delaware basin's unique seismic attributes, including larger-than-expected magnitudes and long-lived seismicity-producing fault structures. Investigate the role of aseismic slip in driving and sustaining seismic activity through satellite data on land uplift and subsidence patterns. Gain a conceptual understanding of the how, where, and why of seismic occurrences across Texas.
