To understand the reason why the co-seismic slip and tsunami amplitudes were so high in this region, was performed the

"Sumatra Aftershocks" cruise (R/V Marion Dufresne, Jakarta, July 15 - Colombo, August 9, 2005) in order to establish the geodynamical context of the 2004 earthquake and to record the aftershock activity. . Twenty ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) were deployed and recorded the local seismicity during 12 days.
