Sharkov Y1 - 2011-07-27 PY - 2011 T1 - Spatio-temporal Changes in Stress Field and Occurrence of the 2003 Tokachi Oki Earthquake in Hokkaido, Northern Japan N2 - This book is devoted to different aspects of tectonic research. Syntheses of recent and earlier works, combined with new results and interpretations, are presented in this book for diverse tectonic settings. Most of the chapters include up-to-date material of detailed geological investigations, often combined with geophysical data, which can help understand more clearly the essence of mechanisms of different tectonic processes. Some chapters are dedicated to general problems of tectonics. Another block of chapters is devoted to sedimentary basins and special attention in this book is given to tectonic processes on active plate margins.
