STEM Cafe Earthquakes & Fracking

At Zoom
Categories: Outdoors
Join the NIU STEM Cafe for an earth-shaking discussion of seismic activity with NIU Geology professors Philip Carpenter and Megan Brown. At least 26 minor earthquakes have rattled northern Illinois in the past 100 years, and in recent years Oklahoma has experienced more “felt” earthquakes (magnitude 3 or higher) than California. Where are faults located in the northern Illinois region, and what unmapped faults might be active here? How are human activities, such as fracking and wastewater disposal, triggering earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S.?
