Coulomb stress changes produced by the 2024 January 22 MW 7.0, Wushi earthquake. The Coulomb stress changes are computed at a depth of 10 km. Coulomb stress profiles: perpendicular to the modelled fault, showing stress imparted by our preferred solution on (a) NW-dipping thrust faults, and on (b) SE-dipping thrust faults together with aftershocks. Seismicity: magenta circles are aftershocks from USGS catalogue (USGS 2024); yellow circles are M > 4 events from Liang et al. (2024); the stars are the largest events of the seismic sequence (the red ones are from USGS, while the yellow one is from Liang et al. (2024)). The beach-balls display the mainshock and greatest aftershock focal solutions from the USGS catalogue (USGS 2024). The grey line in sections A-A′ and B-B′ represent our best-fit coseismic model, while the green line in section A-A′ of panel (b) is SE-dipping secondary fault modelled in the post-seismic deformation. Other symbols as in Fig. 5. Note that many hypocentres were located at a fixed depth of 10 km from the USGS location.
