Major Activities

• Construction of a Virtual Earth (current focus
  on the 3D geometry of the Indonesian slab and
  the geodynamics of the Great Sumatran earthquake)
• 3D tectonic reconstruction - Pplates
• Using SNARK to simulate crustal deformation
  associated with shear zones, and 3D slab roll-back

3
3D reconstruction - gOcad model of the Tethyan
slab beneath Indonesia
Not the final result - a work in progress
4
3D visualization of slab geometry
5
Using gOcad to look in 3D at elongate octagons
in the conjugate fault planes generated using
data from the Harvard CMT database
6
Structural analysis of data from the Harvard
Centroid Moment Tensor Database(252 quakes
since 12-26-04)The analysis program will
beavailable through ACcESS
