Fig. 3: Relocated seismicity, injection wells and surface deformation.

From: Bayesian inference elucidates fault-system anatomy and resurgent earthquakes induced by continuing saltwater disposal

Fig. 3

Relocated seismicity (white circles) between November 23, 2022, and March 23, 2023, plotted on a ground displacement image from InSAR (background color). Circle sizes are scaled by magnitude, and blue hexagons show saltwater injection wells within the map area. The focal mechanisms are our solutions for eight events of MW ≥ 3.8 and are numbered chronologically (Supplementary Tables S2 and S3). The rectangle is the surface projection of a northeast dipping rectangular rupture area inferred from seismic and InSAR data, where the thick line represents the top of the fault. Displacements in the satellite line of sight (LOS) were calculated from InSAR data between November 13, 2022, and December 12, 2022.
