Many people have worked on this pattern of uplift and subsidence in great quakes since 1964. I saw firsthand the effects in 2005 when I studied the 2004 Andamans-Sumatra earthquake and again in ...

I’ve had the opportunity to see both uplift and subsidence in post-earthquake/tsunami field investigations. For earthquakes like Indonesia 2004, Chile 2010, and Japan, the primary signature is ...
