Rapid hydrothermal triggering of induced seismicity at the Coso geothermal field

Key Points

• Induced seismicity increased significantly following rapid hydrothermal events, indicating strong correlations.
• Seismic activity surges were observed within a 50 km radius, relating directly to hydrothermal stimulation.
• Observational analysis highlights the connection between geothermal field operations and seismic events occurring due to thermal stress.
• Implications of rapid triggering effects underscore the complexity of geothermal energy development management.
