Rupture kinematics of the 2005 Mw 8.6 Nias-Simeulue earthquake from the joint inversion of seismic and geodetic data by Konca, A. Ozgun, Hjorleifsdottir, Vala, Song, Alex Teh-Ru, Avouac, Jean-Philippe, Ji, Chen, Sieh, Kerry, Helmberger, Don V., Briggs, Richard W., Meltzner, Aron J.

“…Thus, this earthquake provides a unique opportunity to assess the source characteristics of a megathrust event from the joint analysis of seismic data and near-field static co-seismic displacements. Based on the excitation of the normal mode data and geodetic data we put relatively tight constraints on the seismic moment and the fault dip, where the dip is determined to be 8° to 10° with corresponding moments of 1.24 × 10^22 to 1.00 × 10^22 N m, respectively. …”
