Schatzalp Workshop on Induced Seismicity

5 to 8 March 2019 in Davos, Switzerland

 

At the third Schatzalp Workshop on Induced Seismicity, 49 talks and 63 posters were presented, creating an exciting programme that broadly covered the state-of-the-art research on induced seismicity.

Scope

Induced seismicity remains a major challenge for numerous geo-energy applications around the world and a fascinating research topic. Two years full of scientific progress have passed and new, sometimes surprising developments took place since we last met in Davos for the 2nd Schatzalp Workshop on Induced Seismicity.

We now like to invite you to join us for the third workshop that will continue in the tradition of the highly acclaimed previous editions in 2015 and 2017. The focus will again be on discussing the state of the art and future directions of all aspects related to induced seismicity. Special sessions are planned, for example, on lab and underground experiments, the Groningen experience, and the Pohang earthquakes. We also will explore the use of induced seismicity to understand earthquake physics and advance earthquake predictability research.
