#"Evaluating the Mysteries of Seismicity in Oklahoma"

This project is a part of a broader research effort investigating the relationships between spatiotemporal systems & seismicity, and is funded by the Department of Energy's SubTER(Subsurface Technology and Engineering Research, Development, and Demonstration) Crosscut Initiative.

The goal of this project is to provide a better understanding of the recent increase in seismicity in Oklahoma. This was accomplished by reviewing literature, exploring, and performing analyses on key datasets to explain:

<ol>
<li>The onset of the increase of seismic activity after 2008</li>

<li>Earthquake history (before 2008)</li>

<li>The risk to the population</li>

<li>How earthquakes happen</li>

<li>What natural and anthropogenic earthquake factors have been known to cause earthquakes within and outside of Oklahoma</li>

<li>If any of the earthquake factors have any spatial correlation with the earthquake data, individually or cumulatively</li>
</ol>
