| Summary: | The Sorong fault is one of the active faults in Papua. In the historical record of
seismicity several earthquake have occurred in this area, one of which was the
earthquake on September 24 2015 with a magnitude of 6.3 Ms. These condision
make the study of seismology important, especially the analysis of earthquake
hypocenters which can be used to mitigate earthquake hazards. In this Final Project
the method used for relocating the hypocenter of an earthquake is the Double
Difference method and using earthquake data from 31 December 2018 to 31 July
2022. Double Difference Method can minimize errors due to the velocity structure
which has not been modeled on the results of the initial parameter determination.
For this reason, it is necessary to update the hypocenter using station correction.
The seismicity distribution obtained from the relocation results can provide an
overview of the segmentation of the Sorong Fault. Based on the results obtained, it
shows that the Sorong Fault with the Dampir Segment has a focal depth of about
20 km, the Sagewin Segment about 25 km, the Klararea Segment about 20 km, the
Mega Omnowi Segment about 20 km, the Anita Segment about 25 km, the Meuni
and Warjori Segments about 20- 25km. |
