Juxtaposition of Shallow Reservoir-Triggered Seismicity and Deep Tectonic Locking in the Qiaojia-Dongchuan Seismic Gap
Zhou, Y., Zhang, H., Mousavi, S.M., Yin G., He P., Guo Y., Yi S., Shi, Y
arXiv preprint arXiv:2607.19606. Under Review-Communications Earth & Environment (Nature Index).
Our findings indicate that shallow induced seismicity can mask the silent accumulation of deep tectonic strain. This decoupling model provides a new framework for assessing seismic risks in reservoir-fault systems globally.
