Relationship between Radar Lineaments, Geologic Structure, and In situ Stress in East Texas. Topical Report June 1987-February 1988

摘要

The report describes the results of remote-sensing studies of an area in East Texas based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. These results are compared with previous Landsat-based regional remote-sensing studies. The purpose of the study was to determine whether radar lineaments can be used to define in situ stress orientations in the Travis Peak Formation and thereby ascertain whether subsurface fracture orientation can be predicted from surface lineaments where subsurface stress data are absent in East Texas.
