200多年的挖煤造成的，真是匪夷所思。（后来有澳大利亚学者的逐点批驳和他的reply）。
Science采访他和范晓，不考虑他们在本行的声誉，这属于吸引眼球的行为，很不光彩。
Abstract
On the basis of a numerical simulation, Klose [earth planet. sci. lett. 256: 547╟553 (2007)] proposed that the MW=5.2–5.6 earthquake that
nucleated beneath Newcastle (New South Wales, Australia) at 10.30 AM December 28, 1989 (AEST), was the result of 200yr of coal mining in
the region. We argue here that Klose's [earth planet. sci. lett. 256: 547╟553 (2007)] ultimate conclusion is not supported by his own model or by
available geological and seismic data. In particular, the 1989 Newcastle earthquake was not anomalous with respect to regional seismic activity.
