Content:
This book contains 28 research articles on new approaches and results pertaining to the problem of stress in the earth. Some reviews of important techniques are also given. A wide variety of research fields are represented: overcoring, hydraulic fracturing, mapping of dykes, grain-size paleopiezometry, flow laws of rocks, velocity anisotropy, seismicity, earthquake focal mechanism, stressdrops, and theoretical analysis of crustal rupture and plate motions. This collection of articles reflects well present advances towards mapping and understanding of local and global stress fields.
