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 …

Abstract The Human-induced Earthquake Database, HiQuake, is a comprehensive record of
earthquake sequences postulated to be induced by anthropogenic activity. It contains over …

Abstract The Sichuan–Tibet railway construction has received significant attention from both
China and abroad. The new section from Ya'an to Nyingchi is about 1018.6 km long …

Rock fracture under upper crustal conditions is driven not only by applied stresses, but also
by time-dependent, chemically activated subcritical cracking processes. These subcritical …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

In this paper, we review a suite of techniques for determination of in situ stress orientation
and magnitude in deep wells and boreholes. As these techniques can be utilized in both …

Rock-mechanics experiments, geodetic observations of postloading strain transients, and
micro-and macrostructural studies of exhumed ductile shear zones provide complementary …

Deep drilling and induced seismicity experiments at several locations worldwide indicate
that, in general, the brittle crust in intraplate regions is critically stressed, pore pressures are …

Image logs provide important information on lithology, sedimentary textures, paleoflow
directions, fractures and in situ stress analysis. Lacking of criteria used for establishing the …

The paper documents 41 European case histories that describe the seismogenic response
of crystalline and sedimentary rocks to fluid injection. It is part of an on-going study to identify …
