Global crustal stress pattern based on the World Stress Map database release 2008
TLDR
The World Stress Map (WSM) project is a global compilation of information on the contemporary crustal stress field from a wide range of stress indicators as mentioned in this paper, and the WSM database release 2008 contains 21,750 stress data records that are quality-ranked using an updated and refined quality ranking scheme.About:

Fault activation by hydraulic fracturing in western Canada.
Xuewei Bao,David W. Eaton +1 more
TL;DR: A template-based earthquake catalog from a seismically active Canadian shale play, combined with comprehensive injection data during a 4-month interval, shows that earthquakes are tightly clustered in space and time near hydraulic fracturing sites.

The World Stress Map database release 2016 : Crustal stress pattern across scales
Oliver Heidbach,Mojtaba Rajabi,Xiaofeng Cui,Karl Fuchs,Birgit Müller,John Reinecker,Karsten Reiter,Mark Tingay,Friedemann Wenzel,Furen Xie,Moritz Ziegler,Mary-Lou Zoback,Mark D. Zoback +12 more
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.

A survey of the induced seismic responses to fluid injection in geothermal and CO2 reservoirs in Europe
TL;DR: In this article, 41 European case histories that describe the seismogenic response of crystalline and sedimentary rocks to fluid injection are presented. But the data considered here are not fully consistent with the concept that injection into deeper crystalline formations tends to produce larger magnitude events, and all crystalline rock masses were found to be critically stressed regardless of the strength of their seismogenic responses to injection.

Stefan M. Schmid,Bernhard Fügenschuh,Alexandre Kounov,Liviu Maţenco,Peter Nievergelt,Roland Oberhänsli,Jan Pleuger,Senecio Schefer,Ralf Schuster,Bruno Tomljenović,Kamil Ustaszewski,Douwe J.J. van Hinsbergen +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, a map that correlates tectonic units between Alps and western Turkey accompanied by a text providing access to literature data is presented, explaining the concepts used for defining the mapped Tectonic Units, and first-order paleogeographic inferences.

Global Sea Floor Topography from Satellite Altimetry and Ship Depth Soundings
TL;DR: In this paper, a digital bathymetric map of the oceans with a horizontal resolution of 1 to 12 kilometers was derived by combining available depth soundings with high-resolution marine gravity information from the Geosat and ERS-1 spacecraft.
Active tectonics of Mediterranean region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined more than 100 fault plane solutions for earthquakes within the Alpide belt between the Mid-Atlantic ridge and Eastern Iran and found that the deformation at present occurring is the result of small continental plates moving away from Eastern Turkey and Western Iran.
Journal ArticleDOI
An updated digital model of plate boundaries
TL;DR: In this paper, a global set of present plate boundaries on the Earth is presented in digital form, taking into account relative plate velocities from magnetic anomalies, moment tensor solutions, and geodesy.

First‐ and second‐order patterns of stress in the lithosphere: The World Stress Map Project
TL;DR: In this paper, more than 7300 in situ stress orientations have been compiled as part of the World Stress Map project and over 4400 are considered reliable tectonic stress indicators, recording horizontal stress orientation to within <±25°.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved method for determining the regional stress tensor using earthquake focal mechanism data: Application to the San Fernando Earthquake Sequence
TL;DR: In this article, a grid search of stress models is performed to find the one which requires the smallest total rotation of all the fault planes that is needed to match the observed and predicted slip directions.
