The 2016 Mw 7.0 Kumamoto Earthquake Sequence, Japan revisited: Insights from Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Seismicity Parameters
Understanding how crustal faults accumulate strain, nucleate ruptures, and redistribute post-seismic stress is fundamental to seismic hazard assessment. The 16 April 2016 $M_w$ 7.0 Kumamoto earthquake, rupturing the Futagawa--Hinagu fault zone in the Beppu--Shimabara graben, central Kyushu, Japan, offers a premier data...
