Fracking linked to largest slow-slip earthquake recorded in Western Canada

Western Canada's largest slow-slip earthquake on record has been detected and researchers from the University of Calgary say it appears to correlate to hydraulic fracturing operations. The collaborative study, involving research teams in both Canada and China, has found evidence linking two 'slow-slip' earthquakes in northeastern B.C. to 'fracking' in the area. The larger of the two earthquakes, the equivalent of a magnitude five seismic event, took place over several days and satellite measurem
