Moment release and associated volume change from a collection of injection- and intrusion-induced seismicity cases (NERC Grant NE/R018006/1)
"This data was compiled for the paper "Self-similarity of seismic moment release to volume change scaling for volcanoes: a comparison with injection-induced seismicity", that has been accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters. It is a compilation of literature values of volume changes and associated total seismic moment releases for many injection-induced earthquake sequences. It also includes a number of total moment releases and volume changes from volcanic sequences that were calculated for the study from published earthquake catalogues. This work was conducted to examine the response of the shallow crust to volume changes in the two different contexts, make the comparison between them, and discuss why the response is similar or dissimilar. The data consists of two tables. For the fluid injection data the table lists the project name, the approximate dates, the source, the type of operation, and naturally the volume and total seismic moment release. For the volcanotectonic sequences, it lists the name of the eruption/intrusion, the dates, volume change, and moment release. Also included in both tables are the seismic efficiency (functionally the ratio of moment releasee to volume change, see Hallo et al., 2014) and seismogenic index (another measure of the response of the crust to a volume change, see Shapiro et al., 2010).

For the injection induced data, values were extracted from literature sources, which are given in the table. For the volcanic sequences, volume changes were extracted from literature, but total moment releases were calculated from the earthquake catalogues. Sources of these are also given in the table. Seismic efficiency was calculated assuming a shear modulus of 30 GPa and the Gutenberg-Richter b-value, needed to calculate seismogenic index, was calculated using the Aki (1965) maximum likelihood method, with the magnitude of completeness found via the b-value stability method of Cao and Gao (2002).
