Common cyclicities in seismicity and water level fluctuations at the Charlevoix seismic zone of the St. Lawrence River

Intraplate seismicity has no widely accepted explanation for its origin. The Hydroseismicity hypothesis, developed by Costain and co-workers, suggests that natural increases in hydraulic head, caused by transient increases in water table elevation, can be transmitted to hypocentral depths (10-25 km)...
