A critical discussion of the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) method to determine stress orientations within the crust

In recent years, the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) method has been used to detect faults and to determine main horizontal stress directions from variations in intensities and directional properties of electromagnetic emissions, which are assumed to be generated during micro-cracking. Based on a la...
