Description:
A series of linked marine and land studies have recently targeted the Sumatra subduction zone, focusing on the 2004 and 2005 plate boundary earthquake ruptures in Indonesia. A collaborative research effort by scientists from the United Kingdom (UK Sumatra Consortium), Indonesia, United States, France, and Germany is focusing on imaging the crustal structure of the margin to examine controls on along-strike and updip earthquake rupture propagation. The fundamental science objective is to examine how margin architecture and properties control earthquake rupture location and propagation.
