back in time and this is an editorial
back in time and this is an editorial from the dallas morning news on money
from the dallas morning news on money
from the dallas morning news on money and it talks about earthquakes in Dallas
and it talks about earthquakes in Dallas
and it talks about earthquakes in Dallas came to dallas in 1983 i studied nuclear
came to dallas in 1983 i studied nuclear
came to dallas in 1983 i studied nuclear explosions and ground motion I didn’t
explosions and ground motion I didn’t
explosions and ground motion I didn’t think I would study earthquakes here in
think I would study earthquakes here in
think I would study earthquakes here in Dallas and so what I want to do is I
Dallas and so what I want to do is I
Dallas and so what I want to do is I want to go back in time then and talk
want to go back in time then and talk
want to go back in time then and talk about this story and talk about how it

earthquakes and volcanoes they call it shake and bake but it’s an opportunity
shake and bake but it’s an opportunity
shake and bake but it’s an opportunity to end in the fall of 2008 I was
to end in the fall of 2008 I was
to end in the fall of 2008 I was teaching that course and on Thursday
teaching that course and on Thursday
teaching that course and on Thursday night we in Dallas had the first felt
night we in Dallas had the first felt
night we in Dallas had the first felt earthquakes that have ever occurred in
earthquakes that have ever occurred in
earthquakes that have ever occurred in 150 years and I thought terrific well
150 years and I thought terrific well
150 years and I thought terrific well had an opportunity tomorrow morning when
had an opportunity tomorrow morning when
had an opportunity tomorrow morning when I go into class I can finally talk about
I go into class I can finally talk about
I go into class I can finally talk about real-time earthquakes some of the
real-time earthquakes some of the
real-time earthquakes some of the students had felt and what an
students had felt and what an
students had felt and what an opportunity to bring it close to home
opportunity to bring it close to home
opportunity to bring it close to home those that I know where that path could
those that I know where that path could
those that I know where that path could go and so I want to take you through
go and so I want to take you through
go and so I want to take you through that half this is just a picture of
that half this is just a picture of
that half this is just a picture of earthquakes at hang there were about 100
earthquakes at hang there were about 100
earthquakes at hang there were about 100 earthquakes and you can see over the
earthquakes and you can see over the
earthquakes and you can see over the course of from november until May there
course of from november until May there
course of from november until May there were a series of sequences of
were a series of sequences of
were a series of sequences of earthquakes that began to occur here in
earthquakes that began to occur here in
earthquakes that began to occur here in the dallas area where we had never felt
the dallas area where we had never felt
the dallas area where we had never felt earthquakes before um and so in that
earthquakes before um and so in that
earthquakes before um and so in that thread that the students the idea was
thread that the students the idea was
thread that the students the idea was well let’s go study those earthquakes
well let’s go study those earthquakes
well let’s go study those earthquakes just because we won’t understand
just because we won’t understand
just because we won’t understand something about them and so we got some
something about them and so we got some
something about them and so we got some portal instruments we deployed
portal instruments we deployed
portal instruments we deployed instruments out to try to locate the
instruments out to try to locate the
instruments out to try to locate the earth works better than the USGS and
earth works better than the USGS and
earth works better than the USGS and sure enough about May of that year this
sure enough about May of that year this
sure enough about May of that year this outline right here is the DFW Airport
outline right here is the DFW Airport
outline right here is the DFW Airport and so you know that the West East
and so you know that the West East
and so you know that the West East runway in the West runway and when we
runway in the West runway and when we
runway in the West runway and when we located those those earthquakes they all
located those those earthquakes they all
located those those earthquakes they all occurred right here move the scale
occurred right here move the scale
occurred right here move the scale that’s only like about a while and you
that’s only like about a while and you
that’s only like about a while and you can see they let that little linear

began to look at these things these red
began to look at these things these red circles are all the producing wells on

squares are two places that when we
squares are two places that when we produce oil and gas we separate the oil
produce oil and gas we separate the oil
produce oil and gas we separate the oil from the water and then we dispose of
from the water and then we dispose of
from the water and then we dispose of the water amet was a wastewater injector
the water amet was a wastewater injector
the water amet was a wastewater injector it just turns out to be right where that
it just turns out to be right where that
it just turns out to be right where that location was again curious and so we go
location was again curious and so we go
location was again curious and so we go a step further and the Texas Railroad
a step further and the Texas Railroad
a step further and the Texas Railroad Commission keeps track of these kinds of
Commission keeps track of these kinds of
Commission keeps track of these kinds of processes so this is up this is a

problem solving and until that
problem solving and until that particular injector had begun injecting
particular injector had begun injecting
particular injector had begun injecting water in the subsurface at about four
water in the subsurface at about four
water in the subsurface at about four and a half kilometers deep on the

twelfth of sep tember and that first
twelfth of sep tember and that first earthquake again on the thirty-first of
earthquake again on the thirty-first of
earthquake again on the thirty-first of october and then the earth began to
october and then the earth began to
october and then the earth began to occur over this time period if we think
occur over this time period if we think
occur over this time period if we think of earthquakes water can accelerate the
of earthquakes water can accelerate the
of earthquakes water can accelerate the release of tectonic stress on existing
release of tectonic stress on existing
release of tectonic stress on existing faults and so it over this time period
faults and so it over this time period
faults and so it over this time period we came to conclude that possibly that
we came to conclude that possibly that
we came to conclude that possibly that wastewater was triggering these
wastewater was triggering these
wastewater was triggering these earthquakes we shared this data and you
earthquakes we shared this data and you
earthquakes we shared this data and you can see that in this particular image in
can see that in this particular image in
can see that in this particular image in August that that water well that
August that that water well that
August that that water well that disposal well was abandoned so there was
disposal well was abandoned so there was
disposal well was abandoned so there was a conversation of these process now
a conversation of these process now
a conversation of these process now we’re going to take now this is a rewind
we’re going to take now this is a rewind
we’re going to take now this is a rewind part so that’s 2008 so now we’re going
part so that’s 2008 so now we’re going
part so that’s 2008 so now we’re going to rewind we’re going to rewind to 1975
to rewind we’re going to rewind to 1975
to rewind we’re going to rewind to 1975 and and we’re also going to take our
and and we’re also going to take our
and and we’re also going to take our limbs and instead of looking at Dallas
limbs and instead of looking at Dallas
limbs and instead of looking at Dallas we’re going to expand across the eastern
we’re going to expand across the eastern
we’re going to expand across the eastern United States and so this map maybe some
United States and so this map maybe some
United States and so this map maybe some of you if you’ve had a geology class
of you if you’ve had a geology class
of you if you’ve had a geology class this is a map of the United States these
this is a map of the United States these
this is a map of the United States these are earth quake hazardous across the
are earth quake hazardous across the
are earth quake hazardous across the United States you can see the San
United States you can see the San
United States you can see the San Andreas Fault of subduction you see this
Andreas Fault of subduction you see this
Andreas Fault of subduction you see this broad tectonic region read the entire
broad tectonic region read the entire
broad tectonic region read the entire risk from earthquakes when we look
risk from earthquakes when we look
risk from earthquakes when we look the eastern United States and see that
the eastern United States and see that
the eastern United States and see that in general the colors are much lighter
in general the colors are much lighter
in general the colors are much lighter there’s less there’s quick risk and and
there’s less there’s quick risk and and
there’s less there’s quick risk and and that’s because active tectonics doesn’t
that’s because active tectonics doesn’t
that’s because active tectonics doesn’t play a stronger role in the eastern
play a stronger role in the eastern
play a stronger role in the eastern United State and so as we look at
United State and so as we look at
United State and so as we look at earthquakes in the eastern United States
earthquakes in the eastern United States
earthquakes in the eastern United States this is the number Q lucky number of
this is the number Q lucky number of
this is the number Q lucky number of magnitude three earthquakes from 1975 to
magnitude three earthquakes from 1975 to
magnitude three earthquakes from 1975 to 2015 I don’t give you’re a scientist or
2015 I don’t give you’re a scientist or
2015 I don’t give you’re a scientist or who you are if you look at that plot
who you are if you look at that plot
who you are if you look at that plot that looks like pretty much a linear
that looks like pretty much a linear
that looks like pretty much a linear line so that means the same number of
line so that means the same number of
line so that means the same number of earthquakes per year so 2923 from 1975
earthquakes per year so 2923 from 1975
earthquakes per year so 2923 from 1975 until about two thousand eight and in
until about two thousand eight and in
until about two thousand eight and in 2008 some people call this to hockey
2008 some people call this to hockey
2008 some people call this to hockey stick but in 2008 we see this rapid rise

going to go backwards again and so now
going to go backwards again and so now we’re going to go back to nineteen sixty
we’re going to go back to nineteen sixty
we’re going to go back to nineteen sixty two so this lesson about wastewater
two so this lesson about wastewater
two so this lesson about wastewater disposal and injection of earthquakes is
disposal and injection of earthquakes is
disposal and injection of earthquakes is something that the literature and I
something that the literature and I
