Geomechanics has a marked impact on safe and sustainable use of the subsurface. This Special Publication contains contributions detailing the latest efforts in present-day in-situ stress characterization, prediction and modelling on a borehole to plate-tectonic scale. A particular emphasis is on the uncertainties that are often associated with geomechanics.
