Summary:

"A little over a decade ago, the southern midcontinent, USA, began experiencing more earthquakes and attention focused on how disposal of large volumes of brine from oil production could trigger earthquakes. This volume examines that phenomenon in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico, and details the regulatory response to it"-- Provided by publisher.
