Stress field of the Pannonian region

Abstract

The stress field map of the Pannonian region was constructed in the framework of the 2018-2.2.1-NKP-2018-00007 project, supported by the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund, Hungary, with a scale of 1:1 500 000. The map shows maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) observations and interpolated SHmax orientations, allowing for the reconstruction of the present-day stress field of the whole region, providing constraints for structural and seismotectonic studies as well as geo-energy projects.
