Thorne Lay,Thorne Lay,Hiroo Kanamori,Charles J. Ammon,Meredith Nettles,Steven N. Ward,Richard C. Aster,Susan L. Beck,Susan L. Bilek,Michael R. Brudzinski,Michael R. Brudzinski,Rhett Butler,Heather R. DeShon,Göran Ekström,Kenji Satake,Stuart A. Sipkin +15 more
TL;DR: Tsunami and geodetic observations indicate that additional slow slip occurred in the north over a time scale of 50 minutes or longer, and fault slip of up to 15 meters occurred near Banda Aceh, Sumatra, but to the north, along the Nicobar and Andaman Islands, rapid slip was much smaller.

TL;DR: The 26 December 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake initiated slowly, with small slip and a slow rupture speed for the first 40 to 60 seconds, then the rupture expanded at a speed of about 2.5 kilometers per second toward the north northwest, extending 1200 to 1300 kilometers along the Andaman trough as discussed by the authors.
Depth‐varying rupture properties of subduction zone megathrust faults
Thorne Lay,Hiroo Kanamori,Charles J. Ammon,Keith D. Koper,A. R. Hutko,Lingling Ye,Han Yue,Teresa M. Rushing +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors represent these and other depth-varying seismic characteristics with four distinct failure domains extending along the megathrust from the trench to the downdip edge of the seismogenic zone.

Core–mantle boundary heat flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of thermal plumes in geodynamics and the thermal history of the Earth's core and lower mantle has been examined, and evidence for threefold higher heat flow across the core-mantle boundary is presented.
