Alaskan rumbling

[LahTera]

We've been having a slew of small quakes here in Alaska. Of course, 3.0-5.0 are what I would consider small quakes. Most of the time, I don't feel them unless they're 5.0 or greater.

For us, it means a more stable region. When we go a long time without small quakes, we worry more about getting a big one.

Question: would CO2 sequestration trigger future quakes?

I have no answer to that. We live in a subduction zone here, and there is also a lot of volcanic activity. Mt. Redoubt was going off a bit, but nothing too spectacular. I was here during a previous volcanic eruption where ash was slung everywhere. It's definitely an interesting place to live. Since the big one in '64, we have strict earthquake building codes, and I made sure we live on bedrock. ;)

I imagine there are a lot of variables that bring about quakes, though, and have often wondered if magnetics from both earth and sun play a role, or even the moon.
