“…Defining a significance threshold for the effect on a population of events (Meier et al, 2014), quantifying model uncertainties (Catalli et al, 2013;Kettlety et al, 2019), and untangling the effects of other failure mechanisms, such as dynamic triggering or poroelasticity, all provide a significant challenge. Nonetheless, elastostatic stress modeling has repeatedly provided a robust explanation for the spatial distribution of earthquake sequences (Steacy et al, 2005;Meier et al, 2014;Wedmore et al, 2017;Cattania et al, 2018), and when applied carefully, can be an effective method of studying the triggering of induced seismicity (Schoenball et al, 2012;Catalli et al, 2013;Sumy et al, 2014;Pennington and Chen, 2017;Kettlety et al, 2019).…”
