Seismogenic Fault Reactivation in Western Central Africa: Insights From Regional Stress Analysis

Seismogenic Fault Reactivation in Western Central Africa: Insights From Regional Stress Analysis

Abstract The onshore continental margins of western Central Africa have been hosting potentially damaging earthquake events for decades; yet, the links between the seismicity, the contemporary stress field, and pre‐existing faults are not well understood. Here, we analyze the regional stress fields...
