TL;DR: In this article, the reflectivity method for the computation of synthetic seismograms is extended to include the elastic transmission losses and time shifts due to a stack of layers on top of the reflecting medium.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used regional patterns of present-day tectonic stress to evaluate the forces acting on the lithosphere and to investigate intraplate seismicity, and found that most intraplate regions are characterized by a compressional stress regime; extension is limited almost entirely to thermally uplifted regions.

TL;DR: In this article, three distinct regional patterns of maximum compressive horizontal stress (SHmax) orientation can be defined from these data: a consistent NW to NNW SHmax stress orientation in western Europe, a WNW-ESE SHmax orientation in Scandinavia, similar to western Europe but with a larger variability of SHmax orientations; and a consistent E-W SHMAX orientation and N-S extension in the Aegean Sea and western Anatolia.

TL;DR: In this article, a continuous profile of the magnitudes and orientations of the three principal stresses has been estimated to depths of 7.7 km and 8.6 km in the German Continental Deep Drilling Program (KTB).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present details of the new WSM database release 2016 and an analysis of global and regional stress pattern, and show two examples of 40 degrees-60 degrees S-Hmax rotations within 70 km.
