Abstract: Abstract We evaluate the frictional strength of seismogenic faults in the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) by inverting the available, well-constrained earthquake focal mechanisms. The regional stress field is given by − 119.6°/77.2°, 6.2°/7.6°, and 97.5°/10.2°… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggz267
Abstract: Focal mechanism solutions (FMSs) reflect the stress field underground directly. They provide essential clue for crustal deformations and therefore improve our understanding of tectonic uplift and expansion of the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40562-018-0130-y
Abstract: We determined earthquake locations through re-picking of P- and S-wave arrival times recorded by BMKG network. Earthquake locations were determined using Hypoellipse code that employs a single event determination method. We then relocated the events… read more here.
