Lithosphere strain rate and stress field orientations near the Alpine arc in Switzerland
Nicolas Houlié, Jochen Woessner, Domenico Giardini +1
In this study we test whether principal components of the strain rate and stress tensors align within Switzerland. We find that 1) Helvetic Nappes line (HNL) is the relevant tecton…

Systematic Assessment of the Static Stress-Triggering Hypothesis using Inter-earthquake Time Statistics
Shyam Nandan, Guy Ouillon, Jochen Woessner +2
A likely source of earthquake clustering is static stress transfer between individual events. Previous attempts to quantify the role of static stress for earthquake triggering gene…
