OHIO EARTHQUAKES DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO FRACKING, RESEARCH SHOWS (STA BREAKING NEWS and ARCHIVES)
Study adds to body of evidence showing linkage between fracking operations and tremors along faultlines
Fracking triggered hundreds of small earthquakes along a previously unmapped fault in eastern Ohio late last year, according to a new study to be published in the journal Seismological Research Letters.
Looking at data from National Science Foundation seismographs located near fracking sites, scientists from Instrumental Software Technologies, Inc. (ISTI) and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) were able to make direct connections between at least 400 small “micro-earthquakes” and nearby fracking operations.
