Post-Miocene tectonics of the Northern Calcareous Alps [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The Late Cretaceous orogeny followed by the Eocene collision of the Adriatic with the European plate dissected the Northern Calcareous Alps (NCA) by a number of well-studied strike-slip fault systems accommodating N-S shortening and E-W stretching ...

Using Seismic Data and Slip Tendency to Estimate Paleostress: A Case Study From Xicaogu Area of Bohai Bay Basin, China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Paleostress plays an important role in controlling the formation and distribution of reservoir fractures, which is a key factor controlling the production of oil and gas from unconventional reservoirs.

Insights into the Paleostress Analysis of Heterogeneous Fault-Slip Data by Comparing Different Methodologies: The Case of the Voltri Massif in the Ligurian Alps (NW Italy)

Applied Sciences, 2022
One of the most critical stages in fault-slip data stress analysis is separating the fault data into homogeneous subsets and selecting a suitable analysis method for each subset.

From Oblique Thrust to Strike-Slip Fault: Progressive Stages of an Accretionary Wedge Development [PDF]

Lithosphere
Accretionary 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

Paleo-stress orientations and magnitudes from triaxial testing and stress inversion analysis in Nankai accretionary prism sediments

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

Bi-directional extensional control of the Berane Basin formation, northern Montenegro [PDF]

Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva
The Berane Basin is a Miocene, northeast‐southwest oriented intramountain basin of the Dinarides, overlying the pre‐neotectonic basement of the Drina–Ivanjica unit, the East Bosnian–Durmitor unit and the Western Vardar Zone.
