Modeling the Proterozoic basement’s effective stress field, assessing fault reactivation potential related to increased fluid pressures in south central Kansas and north central Oklahoma, and improving seismic imaging of basement faulting within Wellington and Anson-Bates Fields, Sumner County, Kansas

Modeling the Proterozoic basement’s effective stress field, assessing fault reactivation potential related to increased fluid pressures in south central Kansas and north central Oklahoma, and improving seismic imaging of basement faulting within Wellington and Anson-Bates Fields, Sumner County, Kansas

Master of Science === Department of Geology === Brice LaCroix === Abdelmoneam Raef === South-central Kansas has experienced an increase in seismic activity within the Proterozoic basement over the past 10 years. In 2009, Oklahoma seismic stations recorded 50 earthquakes statewide, a 200% increase f...
