Short summary
After major earthquakes, smaller shocks often follow, yet predicting where they will occur remains difficult. This study introduces a new method for tracking changes in underground stress after a large earthquake. Using the 2018 Hualien earthquake in Taiwan as a case study, we found that areas with strong stress differences provide clearer signals of future aftershocks than stress magnitude alone. This approach can improve short-term earthquake risk assessment and disaster response planning.
