Ocean Survey Program (OSP)
HMS SCOTT Survey – Indian Ocean Tsunami
Following the tragic earthquake and tsunami that devastated the region on December 26, 2004, the HMS
SCOTT utilized the OSP System to survey the ocean floor at the epicenter of the quake to help scientists
determine the cause and aid in development of an early warning system
Looking south, the purple area marks where the ocean floor, which sits on the Indian tectonic plate, is pushing
into, and moving under, the Burma plate. The Indonesian landmass sits atop the Burma plate. A rupture 30km
below this area produced violent shaking, triggering the tsunami.
