The spatial distribution of earthquake stress rotations following large subduction zone earthquakes

Abstract Rotations of the principal stress axes due to great subduction zone earthquakes have been used to infer low differential stress and near-complete stress drop. The spatial distribution of coseismic and postseismic stress rotation as a function of depth and along-strike distance is explored f...
