Figure 2. Composite Coulomb stress change map using the method of Toda et al. (2011) of earthquakes with magnitude 6.0 or greater generated by different segments of the sinistral Philippine Fault from 1973 to 2023. Refer to Figure 1 for other place names and labels. Data sources: Jarvis et al., 2008 for SRTM topography; Weatherall et al., 2020 for bathymetry; GCMT, USGS and PHIVOLCS for earthquake data. The Generic Mapping Tool (Wessel and Smith, 1995) was used to generate the map. See text for discussion. Credit: Aurelio, et al., 2025, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
