Abstract

We applied receiver functions (RFs) analysis to estimated the crustal structures beneath Station Banjarnegara, Indonesia (BJI). We selected teleseismic earthquakes with epicentral distance 30°-90° and magnitude greater than 6 (M > 6) that recorded from 3 component broadband seismograph at the station. We determined crustal thickness, S-wave velocity profiles and ratio of ν p/νs using nonlinear Neighborhood Algorithm (NA). We migrated RFs phase to depth by AK-135 global velocity models to identify the depth of the geological structure. From the Ps conversion phase and inhomogeneity of the arrival time, we detected the near surface has a strong anisotropy. We identified delay P phase near surface that associated with thick sedimentary layer in this area at about 2.5 km. Crustal thicknesses, ‘Moho depth’, beneath the station was estimated at depth 28-32 km. The high RFs amplitude phase that might be associated with the presence of Indo-Australian Slab was identified at a depth 140-160 km according to previous studies.
