The Intraplate 2016 Mw 6.0 Australia Earthquake Studied by Insar Data

We exploit C-band Sentinel-1 and L-band ALOS-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) data to constrain the seismic source of the Mw 6.0 intraplate earthquake occurred on May 20, 2016 in the central Australia. It is an uncommon seismic event since it occurred in a region characterized by low seismic activity. The retrieved source modeling revealed that the earthquake nucleated along a NW-SE-oriented reverse fault with a significant strike-slip component.
