Sumatra is a tectonically active region driven by the subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate, as well as the presence of the Sumatran Fault Zone (SFZ), which is segmented into several active fault sections. One of these is the Ketahun segment in Bengkulu Province, characterized by complex geometry and a history of large earthquakes, indicating significant stress accumulation reflected in parameters such as slip rate and locking depth. Previous studies have widely employed GNSS data to monitor fault activity. However, its spatial coverage remains limited to discrete observation points. Integrating GNSS with InSAR data offers a more comprehensive approach by combining high accuracy with broader spatial coverage for fault behavior analysis.
This study utilizes GNSS data from 2014 to mid-2024, along with Sentinel-1 InSAR data from both ascending and descending tracks processed using LiCSBAS. The integration is performed during the decomposition of Line-of-Sight (LOS) velocities by incorporating the north component derived from interpolated GNSS data to generate a three-dimensional velocity field. Slip rate and locking depth are then estimated using an elastic screw dislocation model within a Bayesian inversion framework, implemented through the Metropolis Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to obtain parameter distributions along with their uncertainties
The integration of GNSS and InSAR data improved the spatial coverage of the horizontal velocity field compared to using GNSS data alone. Nevertheless, the resulting velocity distribution was not spatially continuous and was only obtained in limited areas, primarily due to the low coherence of the InSAR observations. The estimated slip rate is 14.47 mm/yr with an uncertainty of [-0.98, +1.38] mm/yr, and the locking depth is 15.77 km with an uncertainty of [-3.94, +6.32] km. These values are consistent with previous studies along the Sumatran Fault Zone. The relatively large uncertainty in locking depth is likely related to limitations in data quality and spatial distribution, particularly on the eastern side of the fault. Overall, the estimated slip rate and locking depth provide important insights into stress accumulation and the potential for future seismic activity in the study area.
