Crustal Stresses and Seismicity in Intraplate Settings: Relationship to Geology and Driving Forces

This thesis explores the relationship between contemporary stresses, paleotectonic structure, and seismicity within continental interiors. This is achieved by combining a variety of geophysical and geological data coupled with numerical stress analysis to form seismotectonic models for local seismic...
