Present-Day Crustal Stress Field of North-Eastern Australia

该项目的主要好处是促进对澳大利亚东北部乃至整个澳大利亚地壳动力学的基本认识。该项目将提高我们对澳大利亚东北部现今地壳应力的性质和来源的认识。该项目对澳大利亚东北部的地震活动性和新构造学具有启示意义。此外，该项目对油气和热干岩地热能源勘探开发具有重要意义。

The key project benefit is to advance fundamental understanding of crustal dynamics in NE Australia and thus Australia as a whole. The project will improve our knowledge of both the nature and sources of the present-day crustal stresses in NE Australia. The project has implications for seismicity and neotectonics in NE Australia. Furthermore, the project has significant implications for both hydrocarbon and hot dry rock geothermal energy exploration and development.
