New paper published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society:
This paper proposed a novel maximum magnitude model the explains earthquakes triggered by hydraulic fracturing, geothermal reservoir stimulation, water disposal, gas storage and reservoir impoundment. This model is the extended time-based maximum magnitude theory and estimates induced seismic hazards of upcoming energy technology applications before the operation.

German Geophysical Society (DGG 2024) meeting in Jena;
Dr. Moein gave a presentation on the "The duration of injection protocol likely controls the maximum magnitude of induced earthquakes".
The review article on " The physical mechanisms of induced earthquakes" is now published in Nature Reviews: Earth and Environment.
Dr. Moein has received the DFG principal investigator fund.
The funding will start from 1 November 2021 for the duration of three years and the project collaborators are Dr. Qinghua Lei from ETH Zürich and Prof. Florian Amann from RWTH Aachen.
