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. Further information on the project details can be found in the following link https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/456376654.

Dr. Moein has joined the group of Applied Seismology at the Free University of Berlin

Dr. Moein will be working as a research scientist from 1 November 2021 in a tight collaboration with Prof. Serge Shapiro and Dr. Cornelius Langenbruch.
