Earthquakes can change the stress field in the Earth's lithosphere as they relieve and
redistribute stress. Earthquake‐induced stress changes have been observed as temporal …

Temporal change in the stress field after the 2011 great Tohoku-Oki earthquake was
observed by using stress tensor inversions of earthquakes near the source region. In the …

Abstract Knowledge of the crustal stress field is critical to understanding the driving forces
and processes responsible for seismicity. The purpose of this article is to systematically …

Stress fields in inland areas of eastern Japan before and after the Tohoku‐oki earthquake
were estimated by inverting focal mechanism data. Before the earthquake, σ1axis was …

A global compilation of shear stress magnitude from mylonites developed along major fault
zones suggests that maximum shear stresses between 80 and 120 MPa are reached at …

The shear force along convergent plate boundary faults (megathrusts) determines the height
of mountain ranges that can be mechanically sustained,,–. However, whether the true height …

Abstract Knowledge of the state of stress in Earth's crust is key to understanding the forces
and processes responsible for earthquakes. Historically, low rates of natural seismicity in the …

We develop an improved methodology for reliable high‐resolution inversions of focal
mechanisms to background stress field orientation and stress ratio R in two or three …

We here show relocated hypocenters within a seismic sequence with normal faults in the
northern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, triggered after the M 9.0 2011 off the Pacific coast of …

Knowledge of the state of stress in subducting slabs is essential for understanding their
mechanical behavior and the physical processes that generate earthquakes. Here, we …
