Abstract

The 2019 MW6.9 Banten Intraslab earthquake occurred at ∼100 km to the northeast of the Sunda Trench with two nodal plane models estimated by the Global Centroid-Moment-Tensor (GCMT) Project with a strike of 200° and a dip of 65°.Continuous GPS data from 11 GPS sites were used to model the source of the earthquake in three-components. The coseismic displacements and its uncertainties are obtained from the coordinates of these GPS sites from 7 days before to 7 days after the earthquake. The coseismic slip is the inversion result of those displacements based on the best fit in an elastic half-space. The maximum displacement is ∼5 cm with a large uncertainty that is comparable to the amplitude of displacement. A seismic moment of the best model (strike of 65° and dip of 54°) is 2.79 × 1019 Nm or equivalent to MW6.89. The fault model of the earthquake is highly presumed as a continuation of Sumatran Fault Zone. © 2021 The Authors
