It is today👇#EGU22 #geomechanics

📢Paper Alert: In-situ stress database of the greater Ruhr region (Germany) derived from hydrofracturing tests and borehole logs. The preprint is now open for discussion in Earth Syst Sci Data. Access link: doi.org/10.5194/essd-2…

The fissure of the eruption in #Meradalir #Fagradalsfjall is perfectly oriented with the mean SHmax orientation of the area (as expected). Data from World Stress Map and mean orientation estimated by Stress2Grid doi.org/10.5880/wsm.20…. Orientation of fissure from VolcanoDiscovery

#EGU23 abstract submission in open. If you are working in any aspects of Geomechanics, please consider submitting an abstract in our session: Geomechanics – Understanding, Modelling and Remaining Uncertainties. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/…

Working on any aspects of geomechanics? Still time to submit an abstract in our #EGU23 session: Geomechanics – Understanding, Modelling and Remaining Uncertainties. Deadline: 10 January: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/…

📢Paper Alert! Contribution of mine borehole data toward high-resolution stress mapping: An example from Bowen Basin, Australia This paper represents the most comprehensive quality-ranked basin-wide stress map according to our database! Mojtaba Rajabi doi.org/10.1016/j.ijrm…

#EGU24 Are you doing some stress or strain related research? We welcome all kinds of research from observations to experimental studies, and laboratory results to numerical modelling. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/…

📢Paper Alert! "Impact of faults on the remote stress state" The paper investigates which component of the stress tensor is affected at which distance from the fault using a series of generic 3-D models. doi.org/10.5194/se-15-… karstReiter

Dr. Susan Hough Very sad news! GMT has been used by the World Stress Map World Stress Map for their many many maps for decades.

1/3 Pleased to share three papers just published in the Australian Energy Producers journal along with the Australian Energy Producers Conference & Exhibition. The first one aims to calibrate a 3D geomechanical model in the absence of stress magnitude data. doi.org/10.1071/EP23123

2/3 The second paper led by my PhD student Rasoul Ranjbarkarami which investigate the impact of volcanic intrusions on the variation of vertical stress in the McArthur and Beetaloo basins, Australia. doi.org/10.1071/EP23179

3/3 And the third one led by my colleague Simon Holford and reviews some key geomechanical issues and knowledge gaps that need to be understood to enable successful reservoir and seal management for CCS projects. doi.org/10.1071/EP23126

Passionate about geomechanics? There’s still time to submit your abstract in our #EGU2025 session: “The Present-Day Stress State – Starting Point for Research and Subsurface Engineering”. Share your work on this global stage! Deadline: 15 January: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/…

Australia is a long way from the tectonic plate boundaries where most earthquakes happen – but we can't escape the forces they create. Dr. Dee Ninis Monash University UQ News theconversation.com/why-does-austr…

Why does tectonically ‘stable’ Australia get earthquakes? Our new The Conversation piece explains why👇
