Hypocenter distribution of volcanic earthquakes beneath Mount Sinabung (Oct 2023–Apr 2024) using an adaptive damping Geiger relocation
Abstract
Abstract We relocated 61 volcanic earthquakes recorded around Mount Sinabung between October 2023 and April 2024 using a Geiger least-squares algorithm with adaptive damping to produce a rigorously vetted hypocenter catalogue; the dataset contains 34 deep events (2.5–14 km) and 27 shallow events (0.3–2.0 km), with epicenters concentrated within 0–5 km of the summit and cross-sections revealing vertically continuous, segmented pathways consistent with multi-stage magma transport, while per-event ± 10% \(\:Vp\) sensitivity tests and station jackknife analyses confirm robust classifications for the majority of events and flag model-sensitive cases for cautious interpretation.
