[Geoqus] AGU 2010 session on crustal stress

[Oliver Heidbach]

Dear Colleagues,
we remind you the deadline to submit an abstract to AGU Fall meeting 
at the session T41:"Contemporary stress field: where we come from and 
where we are going to" is Thursday 02 September 2010.

Conveners:
Simona Pierdominici, Maria Teresa Mariucci, Paola Montone, Arno Zang

Description: The goal is to provide up-to-date information on recent 
or ongoing present-day stress researches. Knowledge of the stress 
state is important for seismic hazard assessment, oil and geothermal 
reservoirs exploitation, nuclear waste disposal,CO2 storage. The main 
key issues are: in-situ and laboratory stress measurement techniques; 
relationship between tectonic structures and stress field; stress 
field numerical modelling; geomechanics for reservoir exploration; 
stress field and induced earthquakes. Abstracts on cutting edge 
technology together with standard methods in determining the stress, 
on local and regional stress studies, as well as on results from 
scientific deep drilling projects are appreciated.

We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco.

Simona, Maria Teresa, Paola and Arno
