Abstract
The paper addresses the structure and stress field of faulted upper crust on the eastern side of Lake Baikal. The reported structural map of the study area provides details of crustal heterogeneity and images major fault-bounded blocks. The regional stress field was studied along the mapped faults by structural and tectonophysical methods. The obtained stress pattern indicates faulting in shear and extension environments.
