Happy New Year! There hasn’t been a Tracing the Industry column in the last few editions. I am happy that I received submissions and can include a column in this issue. Thank you very much!

Canadian Geophysicist in National News
Our Dr. David Eaton has recently been figured prominently in several national and international news publications (such as CBC, Calgary Herald, Global News, The New York Times) in response to Xuewei Bao and Dr. Eaton’s paper “Fault Activation by Hydraulic Fracturing in Western Canada” published in Science on November 17, 2016.
The paper describes two distinct mechanical processes that explain the correlation between hydraulic fracturing and seismic activity in the Fox Creek area of Alberta. Understanding these processes provides future opportunities to improve hydraulic fracturing procedures and mitigate risks.
