development. Proc. Kon. Nederl. Akad. Wetensch., B64, 3, p. 428-443.

Sumatra. Proc. 4th Ann. Conv. Indon. Petrol. Assoc., 1, p. 49-53.
(Drier climate in glacial times reduced vegetation from rainforest to tree-savannah with more physical
weathering. During interglacial tropical-humid climate and dense rainforests more confined river systems and
more chemical weathering)

(Data from 60 GPS sites in SE Asia show Rupture plane of 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake must have been
at least 1,000 km long. Small but significant co-seismic jumps detected more than 3,000 km from epicentre.)

(On the age of the Mesozoic limestones collected by Tobler in Barisan Mts, Jambi and Gumai Mts, Palembang.
Part of Gumai Mts limestones determined as Triassic based on Lovcenipora, but Musper (1934) found good
Orbitolina indicating E-M Cretaceous age)

(Deformation of outer-arc islands Nias and Simeulue associated with 2004 and 2005 earthquakes generally
ascribed to stress release on interface between Indian and Eurasian plates at Java trench. Shallow seismicity
and Holocene deformation of islands suggest also activity on imbricate faults in sediment prism behind trench)
