Variations in Forearc Stress and Changes in Principle Stress Orientations Caused by the 2004–2005 Megathrust Earthquakes in Sumatra, Indonesia

Coseismic changes in principal stress orientation in the northern Sumatra subduction zone due to two giant megathrust earthquakes there in 2004 and 2005 are estimated to investigate the in-situ stress. The two megathrust earthquakes, the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman and the 2005 Nias-Simeulue events, are bo...
