Defining the Relationship between Seismicity and Deformation at Regional and Local Scales [PDF]

, 2013
In this thesis, I use source inversion methods to improve understanding of crustal deformation along the Nyainquentanglha (NQTL) Detachment in Southern Tibet and the Piceance Basin in northwestern Colorado.

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean

, 1996
High-quality, normal-incidence seismic reflection data confirm that tectonic deformation in the central Indian Ocean occurs at two spatial scales: whole lithosphere folding with wavelengths varying between 100 and 300 km, and compressional reactivation ...

Seismicity of the Noto Peninsula: Spatial Patterns, Shallow Seismic Zones, and Possible Volcano-Related Signals

Trends in Ecological and Indoor Environmental Engineering
Background: Japan's complex tectonic setting produces intense seismicity, yet reliable earthquake prediction remains unresolved. Recent data-driven approaches suggest that classical models may be insufficient, highlighting the value of exploratory ...

Tectonic stability of the Nanpu sag: Evidence from temporal and spatial characteristics of seismic activity

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  The evaluation of regional tectonic stability plays a crucial role in the planning and construction of major projects. Given that the Nanpu sag is the site for China's first offshore gas storage facility, its tectonic stability is naturally a ...

Determination of stress state in deep subsea formation by combination of hydraulic fracturing in situ test and core analysis: A case study in the IODP Expedition 319

, 2013
[1] In situ test of hydraulic fracturing (HF) provides the only way to observe in situ stress magnitudes directly. The maximum and minimum horizontal stresses, SHmax and Shmin, are determined from critical borehole pressures, i.e., the reopening pressure

Valuation method for sub-indicators of rock burst risk based on mining depth and tectonic stress

Meitan kexue jishu
The mechanical properties of deep rocks differ from those of the shallow layers due to the complex environment. Rock burst disasters are often induced under the disturbance of coal mining.

Detrital zircon record and tectonic setting [PDF]

, 2012
Funding: University of St AndrewsDetrital zircon spectra reflect the tectonic setting of the basin in which they are deposited. Convergent plate margins are characterized by a large proportion of zircon ages close to the depositional age of the sediment,

Neotectonic deformation features in plio-pleistocene coastal aeolianites: palaeoseismology and earthquake hazard implications for the Southern Cape, South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
Deformation features within Plio-Pleistocene Bredasdorp Group coastal aeolianites within the Southern Cape, South Africa, have been studied to resolve the neotectonic history of the region, estimate the recent to current upper-crustal stress field, and ...

Petrologic evidence for earliest Miocene tectonic mobility on eastern Taranaki Basin margin [PDF]

, 2006
At Gibsons Beach on the west coast of central North Island, the earliest Miocene (Waitakian) Otorohanga Limestone, the top-most formation in the Te Kuiti Group, is unconformably overlain on an undulating, locally channelised erosion surface by the Early ...
