This paper presents the results of an evaluation of stress magnitudes in the granitic EGS
reservoir in Basel, Switzerland. The profile of minimum principal horizontal stress, Shmin, is …

Glacially triggered faulting describes movement of pre-existing faults caused by a
combination of tectonic and glacially induced isostatic stresses. The most impressive fault …

The knowledge of the contemporary in situ stress state is a key issue for safe and
sustainable subsurface engineering. However, information on the orientation and …

We present a compilation of over 1700 focal mechanisms for nearly 1300 earthquakes in
metropolitan France and bordering regions of Western Europe. It is based on both published …

ABSTRACT The Upper Rhine Graben (URG) undergoes continuous microseismicity
recorded by seismic monitoring networks and moderate-magnitude earthquakes, such as in …

Two types of hydraulic stimulation may be considered for the development of Enhanced
Geothermal Systems (EGS), namely hydraulic fracturing and shear induced dilatancy. Only …

The Nordland area in northern Norway is the seismically most active area on mainland
Fennoscandia. It exhibits patterns of coastal extension, which contrasts with the first-order …

The impact of faults on the regional stress field is investigated. We show that if we consider
all faults identified by geophysical studies in the Upper Rhine Graben stresses rotation …

Abstract Information on the contemporary in-situ stress state of the earth's crust is essential
for geotechnical applications and physics-based seismic hazard assessment. Yet, stress …
