Can compliant fault zones be used to measure absolute stresses in the upper crust?

Geodetic and seismic observations reveal long‐lived zones with reduced elastic moduli along active crustal faults. These fault zones localize strain from nearby earthquakes, consistent with the response of a compliant, elastic layer. Fault zone trapped wave studies documented a small reduction in P...
