1. ACcESS at ANU Professor Gordon Lister Research School of Earth Sciences The Australian National University Director-at-large ACcESS MNRF

2. Major Activities Construction of a Virtual Earth (current focus on the 3D geometry of the Indonesian slab and the geodynamics of the Great Sumatran earthquake) 3D tectonic reconstruction - Pplates Using SNARK to simulate crustal deformation associated with shear zones, and 3D slab roll-back

3. Not the final result - a work in progress 3D reconstruction - gOcad model of the Tethyan slab beneath Indonesia

4. 3D visualization of slab geometry

5. Using gOcad to look in 3D at elongate octagons in the conjugate fault planes generated using data from the Harvard CMT database

6. Structural analysis of data from the Harvard Centroid Moment Tensor Database (252 quakes since 12-26-04) The analysis program will be available through ACcESS
