Interactions between thin- and thick-skinned tectonics at the northwestern front of the Jura fold-and-thrust belt (eastern France) [PDF]
International audienceThis study investigates spatial and temporal interactions of thin- and thick-skinned tectonics in a classical foreland setting located at the front of the Jura fold-and-thrust belt in eastern France.

Geomorphic response to neotectonic activity in the Jura Mountains and in the southern Upper Rhine Graben [PDF]
Present-day tectonic activity at the southern end of the Upper Rhine Graben in central Western Europe is evidenced by significant seismicity, which has been documented over hundreds of years.

Cenozoic Plate Tectonic Reconstructions and Plate Boundary Processes in the Southwest Pacific [PDF]
The Australia-Pacific-Antarctic plate circuit has long been a weak link in global plate reconstruction models for Cenozoic time. The time period spanning chron 20 to chron 7 (43-25 Ma) is particularly problematic for global plate models because seafloor

Spatial reconstruction of tectonic stresses within the Subpolar Ural quartz crystal-containing province was conducted by the kinematic method [Gushchenko, 1973, 1979] based on the main indicators of tectonic stresses on slickensides. Local stress states (

In order to establish the methodology of hydraulic fracturing tectonic stress measurements, the relation between the so-called reopening pressure of longitudinal cracks and tectonic stresses is studied. To this end, the coupled problem of fluid flow in the crack and the crack reopening behavior in an impermeable rock is analyzed based on the linear ...

Application of Linked Stress Release Model To Historical Earthquake Data: Comparison Between Two Kinds of Tectonic Seismicity [PDF]
The linked stress release model, incorporating a slow buildup of stress within a seismic region, its stochastic release through earthquakes and transfer between seismic regions, is applied to fit historical data from two typical kinds of seismicity ...

Earthquake Predicting and Tectonic Stress Reducing Possibilities
Abstract Recent satellite and ground-based observations prove that during the earthquake formative period VLF/LF and ULF electromagnetic emissions are observed in seismogenic areas. The present consolidated paper describes a theoretical model of the generation of electromagnetic emissions detected during the earthquake preparation periods, a ...

Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]
The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.

Impact of differential stress on fracture due to volume increasing hydration [PDF]
The volume increase that accompanies many hydration reactions can stress and fracture the surrounding rock, a process commonly called reaction-induced fracturing.
