Indian Ocean Tsunami Impact on Northwest Sumatra Coast The tsunami generated by the great Sumatra earthquake of 26 December 2004 devastated 200 kilometers of Sumatra coast from Kuede on the north end of the island to south of Meulaboh on the west coast. Of the roughly 223,000 lives lost during this event, 72% of the casualties were caused by the near-field tsunami that struck northern Sumatra; the remaining deaths were due to the far-field tsunami that impacted coasts around much of the Indian Ocean. Post-tsunami reconnaissance surveys of the northwest coast of Sumatra indicate tsunami flow depths of five to 12 meters along the north coast and seven to 20 meters along the west coast; peak run-up was as high as 39 meters west of Aceh Province near Lhoknga. The image pair below illustrates a small portion of the Landsat scene which has experienced extensive destruction along coastlines, river channels, and estuaries. The large affected area, toward the center of the scene on the right, shows inland intrusion by the tsunami of greater than 3 kilometers. Upland areas, above 15-20 meters, were largely unaffected. Studying these flow depths and run-up heights show that the tsunami may have had alternate sources, such as secondary intraplate faults, contributing to the tsunami in addition to interpolate slip on the Sumatra megathrust. Understanding this means that tsunami warning times for inhabitants are reduced and there is an increased likelihood of devastation by inundation. 134 Landsat Comparison of Pre/Post Tsunami Acquisitions for the Northwest Sumatra Coast
The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) WWhat are Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and the Spatial Information Sciences? Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information, from noncontact imaging and other sensor systems, about the Earth and its environment, and other physical objects and processes through recording, measuring, analyzing and representation. Spatial Information Science is the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable spatial, spectral and temporal relationships between physical objects, and of processes for integration with other data for analysis, portrayal and representation, independently of scale. 135
