Stress tensor estimates derived from focal mechanism solutions of sparse data sets: applications to seismic zones in Virginia and eastern Tennessee

A technique has been developed to estimate the directions of principal stresses from focal mechanism solutions, under the assumption that the stress is homogeneous throughout the seismic zone. That method is called the Multiple Solution per Earthquake Technique (MSET), and utilizes each member of mu...
