Here at BoingBoing, we've talked before about the fact that earthquakes can be triggered by things humans do — everything from building particularly large reservoir to, most likely, injecting wastewater from fracking operations into underground wells.

At Mother Jones, Michael Behar has a story about this research and and how it is (and isn't) affecting the industry.
