Geo-energies play a critical role in the energy transition necessary to achieving climate goals. ‎Exploiting these resources commonly involves fluid injection/extraction into/from the subsurface, ‎which has frequently induced seismicity, sometimes large enough to be felt by the local population ‎and even cause damage to the infrastructure. Extensive efforts have been dedicated in recent ‎years to process understanding, forecasting and management of induced seismicity. These ‎investigations require data from different disciplines, including seismology, geology, petrophysics ‎and geomechanics although such multi-disciplinary data are hardly gathered together. This ‎motivated us to develop a publicly available, physics-based database of injection-induced ‎seismicity (Kivi et al., 2022). The database is presented in a flat-file format and is accompanied by ‎a data-description paper (Kivi et al., 2023), making it readily accessible and understandable to all ‎end users. It currently contains information for 158 induced earthquakes caused by geoenergy ‎applications worldwide. Collected data covers general site information, host rock properties, in situ ‎geologic and tectonic conditions, fault characteristics, operational field parameters and recorded ‎seismic activities. The database contributes to advancing research on induced seismicity at ‎different fronts. In particular, it provides a unique opportunity for exploring meaningful links ‎between operational parameters and induced seismicity, leading to the development of scaling ‎relationships for constraining the maximum possible earthquake magnitudes. ‎
