New Research Shows Plugged Wells and Decreased Injection Rates Diminish Induced Earthquake Occurrences in Oklahoma

Wastewater injection resulting from oil and gas production in Oklahoma caused a dramatic rise in seismic activity in the state between 2009 and 2015. But regulatory efforts to backfill some injection wells with cement and reduce injection volumes have been effective in lowering the state's induced earthquake rate, according to a new study.

Princess Kate Makes a Rare Appearance at a Scottish Church Service

 

Princess Kate makes a rare appearance at church service in Scotland


Princess Kate attended a Sunday church service while undergoing treatment for cancer.

 

The 42-year-old Princess of Wales was spotted at Crathie Kirk parish church in Scotland, accompanied by her husband, Prince William, their son, Prince George, and other royal family members, as reported by The Daily Mail on Sunday.

This church is notably the royal family’s place of worship during their stays at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Kate donned a tan glen check outfit, paired with a matching dark brown fedora adorned with a feather, while William opted for a classic navy suit.

Also present at the church service were King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince Edward, his wife Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and their son, James, Earl of Wessex, according to The Daily Mail.

 

 

This public outing comes just over a month after Kate was seen attending the Wimbledon finals with her daughter, Princess Charlotte.

During the men’s singles final at Wimbledon, the princess was cheerful, greeting the crowd with a big smile as she entered the venue.

 

 

 

At Wimbledon, Kate wore a striking purple Safiyaa dress featuring a ruched bodice and carried a tan handbag, finishing her look with gold accessories. “Great to be back at @Wimbledon!” she shared on Instagram at that time. “Nothing compares to The Championships.”

This church service marked Princess Kate’s third public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March. After stepping back from the spotlight for treatment, she returned in June for Trooping the Colour, which celebrated King Charles’ birthday. Charles is also facing an unspecified type of cancer.
