abstract = "{Study of induced, triggered, stimulated and nuance earthquakes can
provide a unique opportunity to probe into stress/frictional
conditions on the subsurface fault. Although mechanism of
faulting is tectonically driven phenomenon, anthropogenic
crustal (un-)loading process can also drive long-term fault slip
or modulate seismicity in the nearby seismogenic crust. Using
Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment data, surface subsidence
rate captured by cGPS and 3-D hydrological stress models, we
report that the 2017 November 12 M7.3 Iran-Iraq border
earthquake in the Arabia-Eurasia collision boundary region of
the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt was significantly influenced by
the anthropogenic groundwater unloading in the Euphrates and
Tigris River plains and western Iran, a region which is probably
the most intensely irrigated region in the Middle East. We find
that the anthropogenic crustal unloading contributed about one
tenth of the secular interseismic stress change rate due to
tectonic loading. Thus, the resulting cumulative stress
accumulation was significantly influenced by the extensive
groundwater pumping.}",
