Using the linked stress release model to identify regional stress interactions
Abstract
The linked stress release model is based on the build up of stress through elastic rebound and its dissipation through earthquake events. By spatially regionalising events, and allowing the transfer of stress (positive or negative) into other regions as a result of earthquake events, the model can be diagnostically used for the investigation of conjectured underlying dynamics of regional stress build up and transfer. We will briefly review the model and provide a systematic procedure for the identification of the best model, illustrated by historical data. We will conclude with some remarks on using the model for hazard forecasting.
