Supporting Online Material for Deformation and Slip Along the Sunda Megathrust in the Great 2005 Nias-Simeulue Earthquake

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.

Rupture kinematics of the 2005 M-w 8.6 Nias-Simeulue earthquake from the joint inversion of seismic and geodetic data

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

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.

The super‐interseismic phase of the megathrust earthquake cycle in Chile

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A 6600 year earthquake history in the region of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman subduction zone earthquake

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.

Surface deformation due to shear and tensile faults in a half-space

TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of closed analytical expressions for the surface displacements, strains, and tilts due to inclined shear and tensile faults in a half-space for both point and finite rectangular sources are presented.

Internal deformation due to shear and tensile faults in a half-space

TL;DR: A complete set of closed analytical expressions for the internal displacements and strains due to shear and tensile faults in a half-space for both point and finite rectangular sources is presented in this paper.

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.
