Senior Theses and Projects
On November 8th, 2009 the Trinity College Seismograph Station (TCCT) recorded an earthquake of magnitude Mw = 6.7 with body wave amplitudes that were larger than expected. This earthquake, located in Sumbawa-Indonesia, generated similar body wave amplitudes as earthquakes of the same magnitude (Mw = 6.7) and comparable depth (shallow focus: 0th, 2010 and the Alaska earthquake on July 18th, 2010. The large body wave amplitudes were caused by a set of consecutive PKP waves that constructively interfered. The distance from the Sumbawa-Indonesia earthquake to TCCT of 144.96° falls between the lower and higher estimates for …
