Activity Summary

In an earthquake cycle, the deformation process that occurs after the earthquake (or post-seismic), is the continued deformation after the earthquake. Post-seismic deformation analysis in this research will be carried out based on GNSS recording data in the period August 2018 to April 2021. The location of the GNSS network which is part of the GNSS network owned by the Bandung Institute of Technology. The data was processed using the inversion method in afterslip and forward modeling in viscoelastic relaxation, with the Maxwell rheological model used. Iterations are carried out on this strategy analysis until the minimum error value is obtained. Afterslip occurs months to years after an earthquake occurs. Meanwhile, viscoelastic relaxation can last from years to decades after an earthquake. Analysis of these two mechanisms will show the vertical and horizontal deformation. The results of the post-seismic deformation investigation are expected to describe the afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation mechanisms that occurred as a result of the Lombok earthquake. In this regard, there has been no previous research that has conducted a similar analysis for the 2018 Lombok incident. Moreover, this research will use ITB GNSS network data installed and observed by the ITB team.
