Among the wide range of thermal, petrologic, hydrological, and structural factors that
potentially affect subduction earthquakes, the roughness of the subducting seafloor is …

The great Aceh-Andaman earthquake of December 26, 2004 and its tragic consequences
brought the Sumatran region and its active tectonics into the world's focus. The plate tectonic …

Indonesia lies at the region where Indo-Australian, Eurasian, Pacific and Philippines global
tectonic plates meet. In the last 30 years, Indonesia has experienced catastrophic …

Aseismic deformation transients can emerge as a natural outcome of the rate and state
friction processes revealed in laboratory fault‐sliding experiments. When that constitutive …

Records of relative sea-level change extracted from corals of the Mentawai islands,
Sumatra, imply that this 700-kilometer-long section of the Sunda megathrust has generated …

Abstract The great Sumatra–Andaman earthquake and tsunami of 2004 was a dramatic
reminder of the importance of understanding the seismic and tsunami hazards of subduction …

Probabilistic hazard assessments are a fundamental tool for assessing the threats posed by
hazards to communities and are important for underpinning evidence-based decision …

Geodetic and paleogeodetic measurements of interseismic strain above the Sumatran
portion of the Sunda subduction zone reveal a heterogeneous pattern of coupling. Annual …

Large uplifts and tilts occurred on the Sumatran outer arc islands between 0.5° and 3.3° S
during great historical earthquakes in 1797 and 1833, as judged from relative sea level …

The nature of seismic coupling for many of the world's subduction zones has been
reevaluated. Geodetic estimates of seismic coupling obtained from GPS measurements of …
