Earthquake focal mechanisms with distributed acoustic sensing

Abstract Earthquake focal mechanisms provide critical in-situ insights about the subsurface faulting geometry and stress state. For frequent small earthquakes (magnitude< 3.5), their focal mechanisms are routinely determined using first-arrival polarities picked on the vertical component of seism...
