Inferences of the history of fault slip are subject to biases induced by unavoidable imperfections in the assumed forward model. For example, we commonly simplify assumed model of crustal properties and the geometry of the fault. The impacts of these choices are rarely investigated or quantified. Here, we explore the impact of uncertainties...

The 2004 Mw 9.1–9.3 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake is one of the largest earthquakes of the modern instrumental era. Despite considerable efforts to analyze this event, the different available observations have proven difficult to reconcile in a single finite-fault slip model. In particular, the critical near-field geodetic records contain variable...
