“…In this respect, the coast near Bengkulu resembles the west coast of Aceh, as devastated in 2004 by the impact of waves that were not affected by the presence of offshore islands. By contrast, the Padang coast is analogous to the coast of North Sumatra, which suffered far less devastating tsunami inundation in 2005, ascribable at least in part to the presence of the large island of Nias between itself and the region of maximum seafloor uplift (10,24,25). Supporting information (SI) Movies 1-10 are related to tsunami wave propagation and inundation for a subset of the cases described here.…”

“…Further evidence supporting shallow slip offshore North Sumatra includes aftershock sequences within the outer prism (e.g., Peiscek et al, 2010;Engdahl et al, 2007;Tilmann et al, 2010) and small-scale fault scarps offsetting the seafloor generated by active thrust faults close to the deformation front that may be generated coseismically (Henstock et al, 2006). Slip during the 2005 Sumatra rupture was different: it was concentrated beneath the forearc islands and not beneath the seaward-tapered prism or the forearc basin (e.g., Briggs et al, 2006). Other margins have experienced ruptures beneath the forearc high similar to the 2005 rupture (e.g., Kamchatka 1952 andChile 2010).…”

The December 2004 earthquake was followed by the Mw 8.7 Nias earthquake in March 2005 (e.g., Briggs et al, 2006) and by others in 2007 (e.g., Konca et al, 2008) and 2010 (Newman et al, 2011) on the margin. These earthquakes all ruptured megathrust sections between the Indo-Australian and Burma-Sunda plates (Figures F1, F2).…”

Drilling the input materials of the north Sumatran subduction zone, part of the 5000 km long Sunda subduction zone system and the origin of the Mw ~9.2 earthquake and tsunami that devastated coastal communities around the Indian Ocean in 2004, was designed to groundtruth the material properties causing unexpectedly shallow seismogenic slip and a distinctive forearc prism structure. The intriguing seismogenic behavior and forearc structure are not well explained by existing models or by relationships observed at margins where seismogenic slip typically occurs farther landward. The input materials of the north Sumatran subduction zone are a distinctively thick (as thick as 4-5 km) succession of primarily Bengal-Nicobar Fan-related sediments. The correspondence between the 2004 rupture location and the overlying prism plateau, as well as evidence for a strengthened input section, suggest the input materials are key to driving the distinctive slip behavior and long-term forearc structure. During Expedition 362, two sites on the Indian oceanic plate ~250 km southwest of the subduction zone, Sites U1480 and U1481, were drilled, cored, and logged to a maximum depth of 1500 meters below seafloor. The succession of sediment/rocks that will develop into the plate boundary detachment and will drive growth of the forearc were sampled, and their progressive mechanical, frictional, and hydrogeological property evolution will be analyzed through postcruise experimental and modeling studies. The large penetration depths with good core recovery and successful wireline logging in the challenging submarine fan materials will enable evaluation of the role of thick sedimentary subduction zone input sections in driving shallow slip and amplifying earthquake and tsunami magnitudes at the Sunda subduction zone and globally at other subduction zones where submarine faninfluenced sections are being subducted.

Abstract. The number of disasters due to natural hazards and climate change are on the rise. Within the last decade the world has experienced the most frequent and impactful disasters. The year 2015 was the hottest year ever and the associated disaster impacts have drastically increased the cost to the society socially and economically. The Asia Pacific region has 10 been the place where these disasters occur the most. Indonesia, one of the countries in this region, is one of the most at risks from disasters and climate change impacts in this region.This paper aims to do a systematic literature review on published academic materials related to hazards, risks, disaster risks reduction (DRR) and climate change in Indonesia. Systematic literature review is defined as systematic or evidence-based literature reviews with explicit and transparent methods and follows a standard protocol or a series of stages so that bias can 15 be reduced and more importantly able to provide a comprehensive body of knowledge. While there is a vast material that have been published related to hazards and DRR on Indonesia, there has not yet a literature review that examines these materials in a comprehensive and systematic way. This systematic review is important since it outlines recent research progress over time which can help to determine which topics have been heavily researched and thus seeks to recommend future research needs. The author conducts a multi-staged literature review to study publications that are indexed within 20 SCOPUS. Multi-stage processes are taken to determine inclusion and exclusion for more relevant findings. The author also consults authors' and organizations profiles from Google Scholar, Research Gate, to determine gender, affiliations, and extent of publications.The first stage of search from Scopus gives a list of 5253 publications by which after second stage gives 1478 publications and third stage gives a final most relevant publication of 744. The findings are outlined in two parts. One on the results of the 25 analysis in terms of times of publications, most active researchers and research organizations, most cited papers, and categorization of major research topics. The other one is on the examinations on the roles of Indonesian authors and organizations in publishing in international journals, involvement in highly cited papers, and how collaborations have taken place amongst Indonesian and international researchers and organizations. This thus led to recommendations for capacity building in research in Indonesia. 30The findings on the first part are as follow. The final selected publications are categorized into three major topics of (1) hazard, risks and disaster assessments (HRD), (2) disaster risk reduction (DRR), and (3) climate change vulnerability, impacts and adaptation (CC). Publications on the category of HRD are comprised of more than half of the total publications, while the rest is divided amongst those related to DRR and CC. The oldest publication was issued in 1978 and the earlier perio...
