Alpine paleostress reconstruction and active faulting in Western Iberia [PDF]
Open Geosciences, 2010 The study of intraplate tectonics is crucial for understanding the deformation within plates, far from active plate boundaries and associated stress transmission to the plate interiors.

Paleostress field reconstruction and revised tectonic history of the Donbas fold and thrust belt (Ukraine and Russia). [PDF]
Tectonics, 2003 In the WNW-ESE Donbas fold belt (DF), inversion of 3500 microtectonic data collected at 135 sites, in Proterozoic, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Cretaceous competent rocks allowed reconstruction of 123 local stress states.

Paleostress field evolution of the Australian continent since the Eocene [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2005 Although the low‐order present stress field of most continents is fairly well established, information on paleostress fields is generally sparse. Knowledge of paleostresses is crucial for understanding brittle tectonic reactivation through time. The Indian‐Australian plate lends itself well to a reconstruction of paleostresses, as it has undergone ...

Finite-element modelling of Tertiary paleostress fields in the eastern part of the Tajo Basin (central Spain) [PDF]
Tectonophysics, 1998 Three subsequent Tertiary paleostress fields that are deduced from fault-slip data for the eastern part of the Tajo Basin are analyzed by finite-element studies. The modelling results show that maximum horizontal stresses (SHmax) are mainly controlled by the geometry of the model limits and the boundary conditions applied.

Brittle tectonic evolution and paleostress field reconstruction in the southwestern part of the Fennoscandian Shield, Forsmark, Sweden [PDF]
Tectonics, 2011 Six hundred fault slip data have provided robust paleostress fields within an approximately 35 km3 volume of Paleoproterozoic (1.9 Ga) rocks in the southwestern Fennoscandian Shield, Forsmark, Sweden. These rocks were affected by penetrative ductile strain from 1.87 to 1.86 Ga, folding, ductile strain along discrete zones around 1.8 Ga, and semibrittle

Tectonophysics, 2002 The NW-Caucasus fold-and thrust belt essentially corresponds to the inverted western Flysch Zone of the Great Caucasus Mountains, a deep basin that developed from Late Jurassic to Eocene times between the Scythian Plate to the north and the Transcaucasian terranes to the south (the Shatsky Ridge, SW of the NW-Caucasus zone).

Cenozoic paleostress field of tectonic evolution in Qaidam Basin, northern Tibet [PDF]
Open Geosciences, 2021 Abstract This article analyzes the stress fields in the Qaidam Basin since the entire Cenozoic using finite element numerical simulations. The stress fields are investigated by analyzing tectonic joints and the GPS velocity field in the basin.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Structural studies carried out on mesoscopic scale of planar and linear brittle structures from quarries in Precambrian rocks of the central-southern portion of the Catarinense Shield led to a characterization of four main fault directions: NE-SW, NW-SE ...

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 ...
