Geodynamic implications of the Cenozoic stress field on Seymour Island, West Antarctica

Abstract: Palaeostress inferred from brittle mesostructures in Seymour (Marambio) Island indicates a Cenozoic to Recent origin for an extensional stress field, with only local compressional stress states. Minimum horizontal stress (s 3 ) orientations are scattered about two main NE -SW and NW -SE modes suggesting that two stress sources have been responsible for the dominant minimum horizontal stress directions in the north-western Weddell Sea. Extensional structures within a broad-scale compressional stress field can b… Show more
