Structural framework of the Sunda Shelf and vicinity
The Sunda Shelf is one of the most extensive coherent shelves in the world. A geophysical survey was conducted over the southern Sunda Shelf (Java Sea). Water depth, sediment thickness, and the gravity and magnetic fields were continuously measured. Expendable radiosonobuoys were used for seismic …

GPS based analysis of earthquake induced phenomena at the Sunda Arc
… realistic earthquake scenarios for the Sunda Arc. This database provides initial conditions for tsunami propagation modeling used by the simulation system at the early warning center. An accurate discretization of the subduction geometry, consisting of 25x150 subfaults was constructed …

A multiproxy paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Late Quaternary marine sediments: Sunda Shelf, Southern South China Sea
… and 90 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu (western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea) at ~60 m water depth to characterize late Quaternary paleoenvironments by using bulk sediment magnetic susceptibility (BMS), elemental analysis via X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and foraminiferal …

GPS Velocity Field In The Transition From Subduction To Collision Of The Eastern Sunda And Banda Arcs, Indonesia
… GPS campaign (1992-1994) throughout the Eastern Sunda and Banda arcs that demonstrated partial accretion of the arc to the Australian plate. We reoccupied many of the sites from this earlier study and 7 additional stations, 3 of which are new benchmarks. Our study shortened many baselines and …

A 3D Analysis of the Indo-Australian Slab Subducting Beneath Sumatra
The Sunda Trench marks the oblique subduction of the oceanic Indo-Australian plate beneath the continental Eurasian plate along the western margin of Sundaland. This area of the Indo-Australian plate subducting at the Sunda Trench is part of the Wharton Basin, which preserves an fossil seafloor …

Petrology and geochemistry of Sangeang Api and recent volcanism in the Sumbawa-Flores sector of the Sunda Arc: the response of along-arc geochemistry to subduction processes.
… Doro Kuta) from adjacent sectors of the eastern Sunda Arc, Indonesia. Sangeang Api erupts co-magmatic suites of lavas and cumulate xenoliths. Lavas are ne-normative, silica-undersaturated, volatile-rich, shoshonitic basalts to basaltic-trachyandesites. They have trace-element compositions typical …

Landslide generated tsunamis : numerical modeling and real-time prediction
… means of tiltmeters. Due to the proximity to the Sunda subduction zone, Indonesian coasts are prone to earthquake, but also landslide tsunamis. The aim of the GITEWS-project (German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System) is to provide fast and reliable tsunami warnings, but also to deepen the …

The centennial and millennial variability of the IndoPacific Warm Pool and the Indonesian Throughflow
… warming was coincident with the flooding of the Sunda Shelf, which opened a connection between the South China Sea and the Indonesian Throughflow. Regional δ18O of seawater reconstructions suggest that the mean position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) was approximately the same as …

Genome-wide diversity assessment for genetic resource management of Eucalyptus dunnii, E. grandis, E. nitens and E. urophylla
… E. nitens in Australia, and from the Lesser Sunda Archipelago for E. urophylla, respectively. Using the EUChip60K genotyping resource we generated a dataset containing 23 225 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the four studied species that explained 56.29% of the variation among …

The relationship between cupric ion activity and the toxicity of copper to phytoplankton
The purpose of this investigation is to quantify the relationship between cupric ion activity and the toxicity of copper to phytoplankton and further to study the effect on copper toxicity of naturally occurring organic ligands. Culture experiments with an estuarine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana …

Natural frequencies evaluation on existing reinforced concrete bridges using microtremor testing
… Even though Malaysia is located on the stable Sunda shelf with low to medium seismic activity level, effects of tremors due to Sumatran earthquakes have been reported several times. Identification of natural frequencies is important to avoid bridge resonance which could happen when frequency of …

A Test of the Area of Refuge Hypothesis in Indo-Pacific Marine Biogeography
… habitat area can be found in the Arafura and Sunda shelves, while the highest concentration of coastline length is concentrated in the Philippines and eastern Indonesia. Habitat availability explains more variation in species richness than habitat heterogeneity. The availability and …

The centennial and millennial variability of the IndoPacific warm pool and the Indonesian Throughflow
… warming was coincident with the flooding of the Sunda Shelf, which opened a connection between the South China Sea and the Indonesian Throughflow. Regional [delta]¹⁸0 of seawater reconstructions show that during the last glacial maximum the [delta]¹⁸0 of seawater pattern was very similar to …

Insights into the edifice stability of oceanic volcanoes from direct shear experiments and numerical models
… from two case-study volcanoes Anak Krakatau (Sunda Strait, Indonesia) and Kilauea volcano (Hawai’i, USA). The experimental results were used to inform finite-element models representing the case-study volcanoes to get a better understanding of edifice stability, evaluate the influence of …

Morphology and structure of the accretionary prism offshore North Sumatra, Indonesia and offshore Kodiak Island, USA : a comparison to seek a link between prism formation and hazard potential
… under it and farther seaward toward the Sunda Trench, resulting in enhanced tsunami potential. Along the Aleutian Trench offshore of Kodiak Island, 145-155° W and 55-58° N, exist a distinct horizon, associated with the onset of the Surveyor Fan sedimentation along which the preferred zone …
