Short summary
Knowledge of in situ stress magnitudes and their spatial variability is critical for various topics, but local information on the stress field is often sparse and incomplete. In this case, analytic formulations, or numerical models, have to be used. In this study we describe and compare eight different strategies to predict the depth variation of stress within a layered rock formation. This reveals the inherent uncertainties in stress prediction from elastic properties and stress measurements.
