Coseismic slip model of the 14 January 2021 Mw 6.2 Mamuju-Majene earthquake based on static and kinematic GNSS solution

The Mw 6.2 Mamuju-Majene earthquake occurred on 14 January 2021, with the epicenter at 118.890°E, 2.972°S. The shaking caused severe damage in West Sulawesi, especially in the Mamuju and Majene cities. Most of the coseismic slip distribution of the Mamuju-Majene Earthquake is derived from the daily solutions, which might include early postseismic deformation. Therefore, we conducted a coseismic slip model using kinematic solution based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to determine the best coseismic slip values and model distribution. Our analysis indicates that the coseismic displacement from the kinematic solution is higher than the static solution. The GNSS data was utilized for inversion analysis, considering two potential fault sources, they are the Makassar Strait Central Fault and the Mamuju Fault. We found a larger misfit between the observed data and the model generated on static and kinematic solutions along the Makassar Strait Central Fault. Based on the kinematic solution, the coseismic slip distribution represents that fault rupture spreading along a north-south orientation, while the static solution is centered in the northern part. The maximum coseismic slip from each kinematic and static solution is 0.29 m and 0.11 m, respectively. Meanwhile, the seismic moment generated from the kinematic solution is 1.5 × 1026 N m (equivalent to Mw 6.75), which is greater than the static solution of 2.4 × 1025 N m (equivalent to Mw 6.22).
