Abstract

The addition of seismic stations to the seismic network of BMKG in 2019 has successfully located some local earthquakes. In the early 2020 occurred significant earthquakes around Cirata Dam, West Java. During a period of January-March 2020, there have been 5 earthquakes with magnitude ranging from 1.8-3.7. Those earthquakes caused ground shaking up to III MMI intensity scale around the epicenters area. The relocation of the hypocenter using the Teletomo-DD method is applied in this study so that the data can be interpreted to show the fault geometry in this area. The relocated epicenters distribute in the east side of the dam elongated in SSW-NNE direction. Vertical distribution of relocated hypocenters show that the earthquake occurred at 1.1 km down to 14.5 km depth. Hypocenter depths are getting deeper to the north direction, this suggest dip orientation of the fault plane. The reconstructed dip orientation is consistent with nodal plane resulted from moment tensor inversion results, that shown fault planes oriented in N 2290 –2720 E direction and dip 490–500 to the north direction.
