Modeling of the in situ state of stress in elastic layered rock subject to stress and strain-driven tectonic forces
In this study we describe and compare eight different strategies to predict the depth variation of stress within a layered rock formation. This reveals the inherent uncertainties in stress prediction from elastic properties and stress measurements, as well as the geologic implications of the differe...
