Probing reservoir-triggered earthquakes in Koyna, India, through scientific deep drilling

[摘要] We report here the salient features of the recently concluded International Continental Scientific DrillingProgram (ICDP) workshop in Koyna, India. This workshop was a sequel to the earlier held ICDPworkshop in Hyderabad and Koyna in 2011. A total of 49 experts (37 fromIndia and 12 from 8 other countries) spent 3 days reviewing the workcarried out during the last 3 years based on the recommendations of the2011 workshop and suggesting the future course of action, including detailedplanning for a full deep drilling proposal in Koyna, India. It wasunanimously concluded that Koyna is one of the best sites anywhere in theworld to investigate genesis of triggered earthquakes from near-fieldobservations. A broad framework of the activities for the next phaseleading to deep drilling has been worked out.
