Semechah Lui

Assistant Professor

Areas of Expertise

  • Are there identifiable differences between induced and tectonic earthquakes?
  • Can induced earthquakes, typically small to moderate in size, trigger much larger events?
  • Does aseismic slip assume an important role in the triggering of induced earthquakes?
  • What is the major factor controlling the triggering mechanism between fluid and surrounding rocks?
