The 1999 rupture occurred on a segment previously identified as a seismic gap (Toksöz et al., 1979) and recently studied to understand mechanisms of stress transfer and earthquake triggering along strike-slip faults (Stein et al., 1997). We suggest that an analogous rupture sequence spanning the last few... You do not currently have access to this article.
