TOMOGRAPHY IMAGING OF THE SOURCE AREA OF THE 2018 LOMBOK EARTHQUAKES SEQUENCE USING LOCAL SEISMOGRAPH NETWORK

The series of strong earthquakes that occurred in Lombok Island on 29 July (M 6.4), 5 August (M 7.0), 9 August (M 5.9), and 19 August (M 6.3 and M 6.9) 2018 caused significant damages, economic loses, and victims. Study about the structure and characteristics of earthquake source zones are strongly...
