Abstract The 2011 March 11 Tohoku-oki great (Mw 9.1) earthquake ruptured the plate
boundary megathrust fault offshore of northern Honshu with estimates of shallow slip of 50 m …

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 …

The estimation of the stress-field orientation from focal mechanisms of earthquakes is a
relevant tool to understand crustal mechanics and the physics of earthquakes. In global …

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 …

Pore-fluid pressure levels are considered to regulate the frictional strength and slip
behaviour at megathrusts, where the largest earthquakes on Earth occur. Some analyses …

The 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake ruptured a large source region, which included areas with
a range of past M 7 to M 8 earthquakes, varying stress accumulation, and different structural …

The 2011 moment magnitude 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake produced a maximum coseismic
slip of more than 50 meters near the Japan trench, which could result in a completely …

Using a newly compiled data set of 3424 focal mechanisms, we have estimated tectonic
stress parameters at 100 locations throughout central New Zealand in the largest study to …

The amount of stress released during earthquakes is a fundamental characteristic of the
earthquake rupture process. As such, it represents a key parameter for improving our …

We estimated the changes in seismic velocity in the southern Tohoku district of Japan during
the six‐month period centered on the 11 March 2011 Tohoku‐oki earthquake, using …
