In response to this increase in seismic activity, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) partnered with the Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) to exchange waveform data from permanent and temporary seismic stations to improve the cataloging of earthquake source parameters for a broad region of north–central Oklahoma. For a particularly persistent earthquake sequence near Guthrie, Oklahoma,...
