Induced seismicity poses challenges for a range of subsurface energy applications, including geothermal energy, carbon storage, hydrogen/energy storage, wastewater disposal, and hydrocarbon production. Even low-magnitude events can impact public acceptance and project viability, as evidenced by prematurely abandoned projects and moratoriums emplaced on resources development.This session invites contributions focused on the physical mechanisms of induced and triggered seismicity—such as pore pressure diffusion, poroelastic stress, aseismic slip, and fault rupture—as well as strategies for risk reduction. We encourage studies involving:- Real-time seismic monitoring and traffic-light systems;- Field, laboratory, and modeling studies of fault mechanics and fluid–rock interactions;- Mitigation practices, operational controls, and early-warning procedures;- Machine learning and statistical approaches for forecasting and hazard assessment;Case studies from geothermal, CCS, hydrocarbon, and energy storage projects.Submissions from across geophysics, geology, geomechanics, hazard/risk, and hydrology are welcome.
