The World Stress Map database release 2016: Crustal stress pattern across scales
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 …

Increased likelihood of induced seismicity in highly overpressured shale formations
Fluid-injection processes such as disposal of saltwater or hydraulic fracturing can induce
earthquakes by increasing pore pressure and/or shear stress on faults. Natural processes …
