Funded Activity Summary

The Australasian Stress Map. The contemporary crustal stress field of Australasia is both more complex and more poorly constrained than that of other continental areas. The crustal stress field controls processes including earthquake hazard; the stability of mines, tunnels and boreholes, and; fluid flow in groundwater aquifers and oil reservoirs. Using data from oil exploration wells, earthquakes and recent geological activity, this project will increase from around 300 to 1000 the number of reliable stress determinations available for Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. The stress field will be modelled in order to improve our understanding of its origin and variability.
