Just questioning my source, which I always do especailly to researchers who overly self quote. The source of the information always has bearing regarding information being presented.

"Mayor, there's a crew of workmen and a large amount of heavy equipment working just outside city limits."
"Why are you telling me this? Can't you see I'm working on the budget?"
"I think they may be trying to trigger an earthquake!"
"How long have they been there?"
"Couple of months now."
"Oh my god!"

Why of course, earthquakes only last a couple seconds after all

Wasn’t this part of the plot of “A View to a Kill?”

Not many seismologists get geologist accreditation because it's not really in the same field, and because certified geologists often deal more with industry/resources than research. Dr. Schultz has specialized in induced seismicity for ages, and has been a part of loads of projects related to the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

So what happens to those people who live in the area? Their homes are not built to withstand earthquakes
Edit: actually I don't know if they are or not. Alberta doesn't seem to get large earthquakes frequently.

He's not. He was a teaching assistant during his time at university and is currently with the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) at ETH Zurich (a federal agency).
Your questions seem quite out of place here and with little to no bearing with regard to the information presented within the article.

Could you imagine being the guy who fucks up a calculation and accidentally cause a magnitude 7+ quake near a populated city when you were supposed to be just mitigating the risk?

If he's a researcher why is he working as a teaching assistant?

I stull suspect contamination to groundwater is going to be the larger issue in the long run.
Yes, If the wells are dug correctly and don't get damaged, there is a low chance of contamination. The problem is that the wells don't always get dug correctly, and even then damage is still possible.
