Conclusions
• The January 12 2016 event is very likely to be induced.
• Most events around Fox Creek/Crooked Lake are dominated by double-couple, showing vertical fault-plane solutions.
• The geological background seems to prefer a N-S orientation of the potentially reactivated fault(s).
• More information from the geological aspect, near-source close monitoring will help.
