Source parameter of hydraulic-fracturing-induced earthquakes in the Kiskatinaw area, northeast British Columbia

<p>Source parameter of 2475 hydraulic-fracturing-induced earthquakes (1927 events using P-wave estimates and 1882 events using S-wave estimates) in the Kiskatinaw area, northeast British Columbia between 1 July 2017 to 31 July 2020. The Study area covers parts of the Montney Formation, a major shale gas play within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Source parameters&nbsp;include seismic moment, moment magnitude, spectral corner frequency, and static stress drop values using three different approaches (single spectrum fitting, a clustered event approach, and spectral-ratio method). Detailed information about the methods are stated in the corresponding publication:</p> <p>Roth, M. P., K. B. Kemna, R. M. Harrington, and Y. Liu (2022).&nbsp;Source properties of hydraulic-fracturing-induced earthquakes in the Kiskatinaw area, British Columbia, Canada.
