| Abstract | The tectonics and volcanism that give rise to productive geothermal areas also produce a high level of earthquake potential. A methodology for assessing preconstruction hazard as well as the additional hazard due to production is presented. The realistic method is illustrated with an example from the Geysers, California. |
