TL;DR: Measurements from coral microatolls and Global Positioning System stations reveal trench-parallel belts of uplift up to 3 meters high on the outer-arc islands above the rupture and a 1-meter-deep subsidence trough farther from the trench.

TL;DR: In this article, a joint analysis of seismic data and near-field static co-seismic displacements was performed to assess the source character-istics of the 2005 Nias-Simeulue earthquake, which was caused by rupture of a portion of the Sunda megathrust offshore northern Sumatra.

Segmentation and supercycles: A catalog of earthquake rupture patterns from the Sumatran Sunda Megathrust and other well-studied faults worldwide
B. Philibosian,Aron J. Meltzner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors divide earthquake cycle behavior into four major classes that have different implications for seismic hazard and fault mechanics: 1) quasi-periodic similar ruptures, 2) clustered similar rupture, 3) clustered complementary ruptures/rupture cascades, and 4) superimposed cycles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed a decade of continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) observations along the South American continent to estimate changes in deformation rates between the 2010 Maule (M8.8) and 2015 Illapel (M 8.3) Chilean earthquakes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multibeam bathymetry and seismic reflection data to develop an understanding of catchment basins, turbidity current pathways, and depositional styles, as well as to precisely locate our gravity cores, piston cores, Kasten cores, and multicores.

Precision Measurement of Half-Lives and Specific Activities of U 235 and U 238
TL;DR: New determinations of the half-lives of half-life values of $ −235 and −238 have been made improved techniques have allowed the halflife values to be measured with greater accuracy than has been heretofore achieved as discussed by the authors.

Coupled ocean–atmosphere dynamics in the Indian Ocean during 1997–98
TL;DR: It is concluded that the 1997–98 anomalies—in spite of the coincidence with the strong El Niño/Southern Oscillation event—may primarily be an expression of internal dynamics, rather than a direct response to external influences.
