We present a detailed 3‐DP‐wave velocity model obtained by first‐arrival travel‐time tomography with seismic refraction data in the segment boundary of the Sumatra subduction zone across Simeulue Island, and an image of the top of the subducted oceanic crust extracted from depth‐migrated multi‐channel seismic reflection profiles. We have pickedP‐wave first arrivals of the air‐gun source seismic data recorded by local networks of ocean‐bottom seismometers, and inverted the travel‐times for a 3‐D velocity model of the subduction zone. This velocity model shows an anomalous zone of intermediate velocities between those of oceanic crust and mantle that is associated with raised topography on the top of the oceanic crust. We interpret this feature as a thickened crustal zone in the subducting plate with compositional and topographic variations, providing a primary control on the upper plate structure and on the segmentation of the 2004 and 2005 earthquake ruptures.
