Attributes of the study area. (a) Location of Nias, the Sunda megathrust and coseismic uplift and subsidence for the 28 March 2005 Nias-Simeulue earthquake (after Briggs et al.2). (b) Location of coral drill-sites NS09-2.5A and NS09-1.8A (red stars) and NS09-M0.4A (blue star). Map contours are in centimetres, based on analysis of coral microatoll elevations2 (triangles). Site locations include uplift (2.5 m, 1.8 m) and subsidence (− 0.4 m). (c) Location of the 2.5A and 1.8A uplift sites relative to riverine sediment sources. 1.8A is in proximity (~ 7 km) to the largest river (Muzoi), and also a smaller river (Lafau). 2.5A is proximal (~ 3 km) to a small unnamed river.
