Fault Instability and Its Relation to Static Coulomb Failure Stress Change in the 2016 Mw 6.5 Pidie Jaya Earthquake, Aceh, Indonesia

Herein, we applied the fault instability criterion and integrated it with the static Coulomb stress change (ΔCFS) to infer the mechanism of the 2016 Mw 6.5 Pidie Jaya earthquake and its aftershock distribution. Several possible causative faults have been proposed; however, the existence of a nearby...
