Nader, F.H. (author), van Unen, M. (author), Darnault, R. (author), Rudkiewicz, J.-L. (author), Matenco, L. (author)The thermal evolution of collisional orogens is largely controlled by their kinematic and burial/exhumation history, where sedimentation and erosion rates, as well as shear heating and deep heat flow supply conditions for the temperature distribution, fluid flow and the associated fluid-rock interactions. The aim of our research is to understand...article 2023

Chen, J. (author), Hunfeld, L.B. (author), Niemeijer, A.R. (author), Spiers, C.J. (author)High-velocity friction experiments on simulated fault gouges sheared at high normal stress and to low displacement are particularly relevant to induced seismicity, which is becoming an important topic in fault mechanics. Using a new, improved set-up, which allows simulation of fault stress and fluid pressure ((Formula presented.)) conditions...article 2023

(author)We perform statistical analyses on spatiotemporal patterns in the magnitude distribution of induced earthquakes in the Groningen natural gas field. The seismic catalogue contains 336 earthquakes with (local) magnitudes above , observed in the period between 1 January 1995 and 1 January 2022.

van Ginkel, J. (author), Ruigrok, E. (author), Stafleu, J. (author), Herber, R. (author)Earthquake site response is an essential part of seismic hazard assessment, especially in densely populated areas. The shallow geology of the Netherlands consists of a very heterogeneous soft sediment cover, which has a strong effect on the amplitude of ground shaking. Even though the Netherlands is a low- to moderate-seismicity area, the seis...article 2022

Wassing, B.B.T. (author), Gan, Q. (author), Candela, T. (author), Fokker, P.A. (author)Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) involve hydraulic stimulation of the permeability of deep low-permeable rock formations. This causes the reactivation and opening of pre-existing natural fracture networks and the formation of new fractures. During hydraulic stimulation, injection pressures at the bottom of the injection well can reach...article 2021

(author)This paper describes and deploys a workflow to assess the evolution of seismicity associated to injection of cold fluids close to a fault. We employ a coupled numerical thermo-hydro-mechanical simulator to simulate the evolution of pressures, temperatures and stress on the fault. Adopting rate-and-state seismicity theory we assess induced...article 2021

Weemstra, C. (author), de Laat, J.I. (author), Verdel, A. (author), Smets, P. (author)Instrumental timing and phase errors are a notorious problem in seismic data acquisition and processing. These can be frequency independent, for example due to clock drift, but may also be frequency dependent, for example due to imperfectly known instrument responses. A technique is presented that allows both types of errors to be recovered in a...article 2021

Steenbergen, R.D.J.M. (author)Until recently earthquakes were not taken into account in the Dutch Building Decree and other Dutch building regulations. Although in 1992, an earthquake happened in Roermond with a magnitude of 5.8 on the Richter scale which damaged buildings, this was not seen by the law makers as an argument for the introduction of regulations for earthquake...article 2021

(author)Reconstructing the growth and decay of palaeo-ice sheets is critical to understanding the relationships between global climate and sea-level change and to testing numerical ice sheet models. In this study, we integrate recently acquired high-resolution 2D seismic reflection and borehole datasets from two wind-farm sites offshore of the...article 2021

Esteves Martins, J.C. (author), Hooper, A. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)After decades of oil, gas, and coal exploitation, we have learned about some of the unpleasant aftereffects of subsurface resource exploration. Adverse long-term impacts, some known during exploration periods, others only afterwards, may include induced seismicity, land subsidence, or even sinkholes. While geothermal is currently seen as a...conference paper 2021

Buijze, L. (author), Fokker, P.A. (author), Wassing, B.B.T. (author)The Dutch National Climate Agreement sets the goal to adapt before 2030 1.5 million homes which are now heated by natural gas, into buildings heated by sustainable heat. To this end, a growth of the use of sustainable heat sources needs to be realized. Geothermal energy is considered an important future heat source, with an expected supply of 15...report 2021

Paap, B. (author), Kraaijpoel, D. (author), Wassing, B. (author), van Wees, J.D. (author)Numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation usually rely on a simple source modelconsisting of an idealized point location and a moment tensor. In general, this is a validapproximation when the source dimensions are small relative to the distance of points at whichthe seismic wave motions are to be evaluated. Otherwise, a more realistic...article 2020

Meekes, J.A. (author), Vandeweijer, V. (author)Several faults in the border area between Netherlands and Germany show a complex structure. Deep seismic lines do not reveal the shallow structure well enough and the density of the available lines is low. We conducted two high resolution seismic reflection lines to clarify some of the geological questions about the fault structure. This paper...conference paper 2019

van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author), Ruigrok, E. (author), Verdel, A. (author), Weemstra, C. (author)Global phases, viz. seismic phases that travel through the Earth’s core, can be used to locally image the crust by means of seismic interferometry. This method is known as Global Phase Seismic Interferometry (GloPSI). Traditionally, GloPSI retrieves low-frequency information (up to 1 Hz). Recent studies, however, suggest that there is high...article 2019
