Introduction to the Special Issue on the 2004 Sumatra–Andaman Earthquake and the Indian Ocean Tsunami
The great Sumatra–Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 (UTC 00:58:53) was a momentous event, whether measured by scientific or human standards. Sadly, what is currently regarded as the third largest earthquake in recorded history led to the worst tsunami disaster in recorded history, with the loss of more than 200,000 lives and devastation throughout the Bay of Bengal. About three months late...
متن کاملThe 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami: What Happened and Why
The geologic causes of this event can be traced back over 120 million years ago, when the southern supercontinent of Gondwanaland broke up. The subcontinent of India separated from Antarctica and started its steady motion northward. 50 million years ago it collided with Asia, raising the Himalayas and forming the Tibetan plateau. The plate collision continues today as the Indian plate moves nor...
متن کاملPost Disaster Governance, Complexity and Network Theory: Evidence from Aceh, Indonesia After the Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004.
This research aims to understand the organizational network typology of large--scale disaster intervention in developing countries and to understand the complexity of post--disaster intervention, through the use of network theory based on empirical data from post--tsunami reconstruction in Aceh, Indonesia, during 2005/-2007. The findings suggest that the ' degrees of separation' (or network dia...
متن کاملAn analysis of 2004 Sumatra earthquake fault plane mechanisms and Indian Ocean tsunami
The 2004 Sumatra earthquake and the associated tsunamis are one of the most devastating natural disasters in the last century. Several fault plane models have been suggested to represent the rupture mechanism of the earthquake. During this tsunami event, two satellites flew over Bay of Bengal and provided measurements for sea surface elevation with accuracy better than 4.2 cm. The satellite dat...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of the December 26, 2004: Indian Ocean Tsunami
The December 26, 2004 tsunami is one of the most devastating tsunami in recorded history. It was generated in the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia at 0:58:53 (GMT) by one of the largest earthquake of the century with a moment magnitude of Mw = 9.3. In the study, we focus on a best-fitted tsunami source for tsunami modeling based on geophysical and seismological ...
