Induced Seismicity and Fault Reactivation

When pressure changes move faults. Resolve stress onto a fault, read its slip tendency, compute the pressure it takes to reactivate it, bound the magnitude by the volume moved, and decide whether a caprock will seal or leak. The physics behind injection, storage, and the seismicity they can trigger.
