Storing carbon inn rocks underground: Old oil fields may be less prone to induced earthquakes

Subsurface carbon sequestration -- storing carbon in rocks deep underground -- offers a partial solution for removing carbon from the atmosphere. Used alongside emissions reductions, geologic carbon sequestration could help mitigate anthropogenic climate change. But like other underground operations, it comes with risks -- including earthquakes.
