        abstract = {Earthquake activity in parts of the central United States has
increased dramatically in recent years. The space-time distribution
of the increased seismicity, as well as numerous published
case studies, indicates that the increase is of anthropogenic origin,
principally driven by injection of wastewater coproduced
with oil and gas from tight formations. Enhanced oil recovery
and long-term production also contribute to seismicity at a few
locations. Preliminary hazard models indicate that areas experiencing
the highest rate of earthquakes in 2014 have a short-term
(one-year) hazard comparable to or higher than the hazard in
the source region of tectonic earthquakes in the New Madrid
and Charleston seismic zones.}
