About World Stress Map

The World Stress Map (WSM) is a global compilation of information on the crustal present-day stress field maintained since 2009 at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences within Section 2.6 Seismic Hazard and Risk Dynamics. The WSM project is a collaborative project between academia and industry that aims to characterize the crustal stress pattern and to understand the stress sources. All stress information is analysed and compiled in a standardized format and quality-ranked for reliability and comparability on a global scale. The WSM is an open-access public database and is used by various academic and industrial institutions working in a wide range of Earth science disciplines such as geodynamics, hazard assessment, reservoir geomechanics and engineering.
