Spatially Consistent Small‐Scale Stress Heterogeneity Revealed by the 2008 Mogul, Nevada, Earthquakes

We compute and analyze stress drops for 4175 earthquakes (M_L 0–5) in the 2008 Mogul, Nevada, swarm–mainshock sequence using a spectral decomposition approach that uses depth‐dependent path corrections. We find that the highest stress‐drop foreshocks occur within the fault zone of the M_w 4.9 mainsh...
