Data and References
This is a geodetic model of of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake. We have used near-field GPS data (Subarya et al. 2006) and far field GPS data (Vigny et al.> 2005. In addition, near field measurements of coral uplift and subsidence, and uplifts from satellite images (Meltzner et al., 2006) were utilized. See Chlieh et al. 2007 for the details of the study.Map view of the slip distribution
