Recovery of Stress During the Interseismic Period Around the Seismogenic Fault of the 1995 Mw 6.9 Kobe Earthquake, Japan

Abstract We analyzed the current stress state on the Nojima Fault, the source of the 1995 Mw 6.9 Kobe (Japan) earthquake, using breakouts in a borehole through the fault to a depth of ~1,000 m in 2017. The main fault was found at a depth of 529.3 m, with a damage zone ~60 m thick. Statistical analys...
