Stable isotopes show that earthquakes enhance permeability and release water from mountains

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 23:21:00 +0200nature-Earth-and-Environmental-Sciences (en)

Hydrogeological properties can change in response to large crustal earthquakes. In particular, permeability can increase leading to coseismic changes in groundwater level and flow. These processes, however, have not been well-characterized at regional scales because of the lack of datasets to describe water provenances before and after earthquakes.
