The seismic hazard from the Lembang Fault, Indonesia, derived from InSAR and GNSS data
Abstract - 1 - 1 - 1. Previous studies estimated the return period of large earthquakes on the fault to be between 170–670 years. Assuming simplified fault geometries and a reasonable estimate of the seismogenic depth we derive an estimated moment deficit equivalent to magnitude 6.6–7.0 earthquakes, indicating that the fault poses a very real hazard to the local population. Using the Global Earthquake Model OpenQuake engine we calculate ground motions for these two earthquake scenarios and estimate that 1.9–2.7 million people within the Bandung metropolitan region would be exposed to ground shaking greater than 0.3 g. This study highlights the importance of identifying active faults, understanding their past activity, and measuring the current strain rates of smaller crustal active faults located near large cities in seismic zones.
