Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2021 The 2000 Western Tottori Earthquake (Mw 6.6, Mjma 7.3) in Japan occurred in an area where no active faults are known to exist. We examined the distribution, occurrence, paleostress field, and K–Ar ages of minor faults in the aftershock region of this ...

From Oblique Thrust to Strike-Slip Fault: Progressive Stages of an Accretionary Wedge Development [PDF]
LithosphereAccretionary wedges of orogenic belts develop differently based on the direction of thrusting, which can be perpendicular to oblique to the belt. In the case of oblique thrusting, stress partitioning occurs, which dissects the accretionary wedge, changes

Structural Controls on Shallow Cenozoic Fluid Flow in the Otago Schist, New Zealand
Geofluids, 2020 The Otago Schist in the South Island of New Zealand represents an exhumed Mesozoic accretionary prism. Two coastal areas (Akatore Creek and Bruce Rocks) south of Dunedin preserve structural and geochemical evidence for the development of postmetamorphic ...

Parametric and non-parametric statistical approaches to the determination of paleostress from dilatant fractures: Application to an Early Miocene dike swarm in central Japan [PDF]
, 2013 Several methods have been proposed for determining paleostress states from orientations of dilatant fractures such as dikes and veins. Recently a stochastic inversion method was invented to objectively estimate the principal stress axes and the stress ...

Reconciling post-orogenic faulting, paleostress evolution, and structural inheritance in the seismogenic northern Apennines (Italy): insights from the Monti Martani Fault System [PDF]
Solid EarthStructural inheritance plays a significant role in the evolution of fault systems in different tectonic settings. Both positive reactivation of pre-orogenic extensional faults and negative reactivation of synorogenic reverse faults during orogenic cycles

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2019 Combined knowledge on the magnitude as well as the orientation of paleo-stress is usually not given. Based on drilling investigations and laboratory experiments, we are able to provide both, constraints on paleo-stress magnitude as well as orientation in

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The geothermal resources in mountainous areas are usually controlled by neotectonic faults. To minimize the risk in site selection for geothermal drilling, the controlling mechanism must be identified.

Seismotectonic analysis around the Mont Terri rock laboratory (Switzerland): a pilot study [PDF]
, 2017 For this pilot study we used recorded seismic events from the SED permanent network and data from a dedicated SNS network to improve the seismotectonic understanding of very weak seismicity in the vicinity of the Mont Terri underground laboratory.
