A great earthquake rupture across a rapidly evolving three-plate boundary.

On 1 April 2007 a great, tsunamigenic earthquake (moment magnitude 8.1) ruptured the Solomon Islands subduction zone at the triple junction where the Australia and Solomon Sea-Woodlark Basin plates simultaneously underthrust the Pacific plate with different slip directions. The associated abrupt change in slip direction during the great earthquake drove convergent anelastic deformation of the u...

Structural context of the great Sumatra-Andaman Islands earthquake

[1] A new three-dimensional seismic model and relocated regional seismicity are used to illuminate the great Sumatra-Andaman Islands earthquake of December 26, 2004. The earthquake initiated where the incoming Indian Plate lithosphere is warmest and the dip of the WadatiBenioff zone is least steep along the subduction zone extending from the Andaman Trench to the Java Trench. Anomalously high t...

Depth-varying rupture properties of subduction zone megathrust faults

[1] Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman (Mw 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw 8.8), and 2011 Tohoku (Mw 9.0) great earthquakes had similar depth variations in seismic wave radiation across their wide rupture zones – coherent teleseismic short-period radiation preferentially emanated from the dee...

Review of the source characteristics of the Great Sumatra – Andaman Islands earthquake of 2004

The December 26, 2004 Sumatra–Andaman Island earthquake, which ruptured the Sunda Trench subduction zone, is one of the three largest earthquakes to occur since global monitoring began in the 1890s. Its seismic moment was M0 = 1.00 · 10–1.15 · 10 Nm, corresponding to a moment-magnitude of Mw = 9.3. The rupture propagated from south to north, with the southerly part of fault rupturing at a speed...
