Gupta, I.N. and University of Nevada, y.S.o.M. (1975). Precursory reorientation of stress axes due to vertical migration of seismic activity?. Journal of Geophysical Research 80: doi: 10.1029/JB080i002p00272. issn: 0148-0227.

Rotation of the compressive stress axis associated with the focal mechanism of a seismic event has been found to precede several large thrust earthquakes in the Garm region of the USSR. A possible explanation can be offered by assuming systematic vertical migration of foreshock activity within a region of thrust tectonics. Some laboratory and other results appear to support this possibility.
