Present-day (2025) modeled Coulomb stress accumulation of the southern San Andreas fault system in regional context

Caption

Present-day (2025) modeled Coulomb stress accumulation of the southern San Andreas fault system in regional context. Overlaid fault traces can be seen in gray. The white circle marks the location of the Cajon Pass and the three adjacent fault segments. The colors show the Coulomb stress, which indicates whether an earthquake is more or less likely to occur there.
