AbstractThis study is concerned with Western and Central Tien-Shan. It is an area of intracontinental collision and is of great interest for the study of the geodynamic processes that are occurring in the crust. The area of study was investigated using the method of seismotectonic deformation (STD). The STD was calculated on the basis of the approa...

AbstractThe current stress state of the Earth’s crust in the territory of Uzbekistan was studied by cataclastic analysis of displacements along fault sets for the collected catalog of earthquake focal mechanisms (EFM), compiled from the data of different authors. Two stages of stress field reconstruction are implemented at different levels of area ...

AbstractIn the research aimed at determining tectonic stresses from fault-slip data (the seismological data on the focal mechanisms of earthquakes, geological data on slickensides, etc.), in the past few decades, it has become a predominant practice to use the approach that we refer to as the method of the local kinematic reconstruction (MLKR) of s...

This work criticizes the entrenched views according to which the orientation of the principal tectonic stress axes can be determined from local (in time and space) observations of the kinematic indicators which jointly allow estimating the strain rate of a crustal block under study. The criticized approach ignores or replaces by subjective assumpti...

The collision zone between the Arabian and Eurasian plates is one of the most seismically active regions. Northern Iraq represents the northeastern part of the Arabian plate that has a suture zone with the Turkish and Iranian plates called the Bitlis–Zagros suture zone. The orientations of the principal stress axes can be estimated by the formal st...
