3-D shallow shear velocity structure of the Jakarta Basin from transdimensional ambient noise tomography.

ABSTRACT: Situated on the northern coast of the Indonesian island of Java, Jakarta and its metropolitan area (Greater Jakarta) are subject to significant earthquake hazards from a subduction zone south of Java and nearby active crustal faults. The seismic risk may be even higher because Greater Jakarta resides on a sedimentary basin filled with thick Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments. A comprehensive study of Jakarta Basin's properties and geometry is important for creating robust seismic hazard and risk assessments. The main objective of this study is to develop a 3-D model of Jakarta Basin's shallow shear-wave velocity (V_S ) structure and improve on previous models that did not cover the basin edge due to the extent of data coverage. Between April and October 2018, we deployed a new
