Abstract:We analyzed the earthquake density of the Geysers geothermal field (California) as a function of time and space over a decade. We grouped parts of the volume of the geothermal area sharing similar earthquake rates over time; in this way, we found three concentric spatial domains centered on the principal exploitation area and labelled as A, B, C, moving from the innerto the outermost domain, and characterized by peculiar timehistory of the earthquake rates and different stress conditions. The earthquake densit… Show more
