Induced seismicity and ground deformation in Blue Mountain (Nevada) geothermal site

I happily contributed to the great study of Roshan Koirala, the PhD student of Thomas Goebel (U. Memphis), which just have been published in Earth and Planetary Science Letter. The paper discusses short-term and long-term deformation related to geothermal operations in Blue Mountain, Nevada with poroelastic stress changes and and localized major fault slip, respectively. If you are interested, just read the manuscript – it is open-access!
