State and origin of the present-day stress field in sedimentary basins: New results from the World Stress Map Project.

State and origin of the present-day stress field in sedimentary basins: New results from the World Stress Map Project.

The present-day stress field provides fundamental insight into the forces driving plate tectonics and intra-plate deformation. Furthermore, knowledge of the in situ state of stress is essential in petroleum and mining geomechanics applications such as the stability of boreholes and tunnels, and impr...
