Contemporary horizontal movements and seismicity of the south Baikal Basin (Baikal rift system)
Izvestiya, Physics of the Solid Earth, 2014The contemporary horizontal movements and deformations in the central and southern parts of the Baikal depression are analyzed, and their relationship with contemporary seismicity is studied. Based on the long-term measurements by the Baikal geodynamical GPS monitoring network, the refined estimate is obtained for the velocity of the divergence of the ...

Strength of the lithosphere and strain localisation in the Baikal rift
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2008Abstract We use previously published estimates of Moho and lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB) depths combined with a 3D thermal model to infer variations of the effective elastic thickness (EET) of the lithosphere in the Baikal rift zone. The predicted continuous EET map is validated using EET values from previous forward flexural models across

SEISMOHYDROGEOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE BAIKAL RIFT ZONE
Russian Geology and Geophysics, 1992A correlation between distribution of hydrotherms and seismic character of different regions of BRZ is considered. The conclusion is made that the deep-circulation waters, a peculiar “grease”, can provoke a gradual discharge of stresses accumulated in the Earth’s ernst to promote earthquake swarms, i.e., to activize seismic environment.

The kinematics of the Baikal rift zone accommodation structures
Moscow University Geology Bulletin, 2017Rift systems are composed of a set of heterogeneous tectonic blocks that deform under regional extension concordantly, but individually. Such coordination is achieved due to development of evolving ensembles of deformation structures along the borders of the blocks; these structures accommodate in some way the discrepancies in the structural style ...

On relationships between the Baikal rift and ancient structures
Tectonophysics, 1978Abstract The formation of young geological structures in Pribaikalye has frequently been controlled by structural anisotropy of the basement. Orientation of the stress field associated with rifting favoured a parallelism of rift structures with ancient dislocations, primarily of northeastern trend, but sometimes submeridional or sublatitudinal.

Deep Structure and Evolution of the Baikal Rift Zone
1978The varying structural pattern of the Baikal system of rift valleys and faults is defined by interaction of the rift-forming stress field and the structural grain of the basement. The most prominent feature is the central segment of the rift zone which embraces the deepest and largest Baikal depression and is confined to the suture zone between two ...

Chapter 8 The baikal rift system
2006Publisher Summary This chapter describes the Baikal rift system, which is 1800 km to 2400 km long and is situated at the boundary between the Siberian Platform to the northwest and the Caledonian Sayan-Baikal fold belt to the southeast. This rift system has been the object of intensive study by Soviet scientists for many years. The Baikal rift system
