Fluid‐filled fractures and microcracks are the most stress sensitive component of crustal rock
and often determine the pathways and volume of crustal fluid movement. If we are to …

Structural geologists are well aware of the fact that isotropic rocks are quite exceptional in
nature. Whicheverorigin, sedimentary, metamorphicormagmatic, rocks are shaped with a …

It is 10 years since shear-wave splitting, thought to be diagnostic of some form of seismic
anisotropy, was first positively identified in the Earth's crust. From the beginning it was …

This study was conducted in order to characterize the frequency, orientation, and aperture of
macroscopic fractures in the crust and their effect on physical properties over an appreciable …

This paper uses data from the Capital Area Seismograph Network in North China (NC),
currently the largest regional seismograph network in China to investigate the …

Near-surface attenuation and site effects are investigated using the seismograms of 17 local
earthquakes recorded at depths of 0, 0.3, 1.5, 2.5, and 2.9 km in the Cajon Pass borehole …

Knowledge of the state of stress in the lithosphere is an important constraint on our
understanding of the forces both 9riving and resisting plate motions, the mechanics of …

Laboratory‐scale studies of discrete fractures lead to better understanding of the
relationship between flow properties and pore geometry. Field‐scale studies of fracture …

The Canadian database on contemporary crustal stress has not been revised systematically
in the past two decades. Here we present the results of our new compilation that contains …

We observed shear wave splitting (birefringence) for two temporary surface deployments of
three‐component, digital seismographs, that were in place before and after M= 6+ …
