Abstract Knowledge of the present-day crustal in-situ stress field is a key for the
understanding of geodynamic processes such as global plate tectonics and earthquakes. It …

Convective removal of lower lithosphere beneath the Tibetan Plateau can account for a
rapid increase in the mean elevation of the Tibetan Plateau of 1000 m or more in a few …

To date, more than 7300 in situ stress orientations have been compiled as part of the World
Stress Map project. Of these, over 4400 are considered reliable tectonic stress indicators …

An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes and Earth Structures is an introduction to
seismology and its role in the earth sciences, and is written for advanced undergraduate and …

Regional patterns of present-day tectonic stress can be used to evaluate the forces acting on
the lithosphere and to investigate intraplate seismicity. Most intraplate regions are …

To address the question of the initiation and mechanisms involved in the process of
subduction zone formation, we explored most of the available evidence for the subduction …

Plate tectonic reconstructions for the Cretaceous have assumed that the major continental
blocks—Eurasia, Greenland, North America, South America, Africa, India, Australia, and …

Historic records of the last 300 years reveal two great interplate earthquakes (1833, MW=
8¾ 1861, MW= 8¼–8½), which ruptured major segments of the Sumatra fore arc in western …

We modelled the state of stress in the Indo-Australian plate in order to investigate
quantitatively variations observed in tectonic style. The numerical procedure incorporates …

The unusual present-day crustal stress pattern of the Australian continent has been the
subject of scientific debate for over 25 years. The orientation of maximum horizontal present …
