Abstract Induced seismicity is a limiting factor for the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). Its causal mechanisms are not fully understood, especially those post-injection seismicity. To better understand that induced in controversial case Basel EGS (Switzerland), we perform coupled hydro-mechanical simulation plastic response discrete pre-existing fault network built on basis mo...

Abstract In this study, new structural field data and geological observations are coupled with remote sensing analysis compilation of previous published work to establish a kinematic framework for the neotectonic reactivation Alxa block, China. The block occupies key position in Central Asia north east contractional sinistrally transpressive deforming zones Qilianshan-Hexi Corridor-easternmost ...
