Current motion of Sarawak (2011-2019) - high precision / Mohamad Haikal Faizulazmi
The configuration of crustal plates in South East Asia is tectonically complicated. The North-West Trench (Palawan Trough) is a part of the most recent subduction zone between the South China Sea and North-West Borneo. Sundaland internal deformation is general very small (less than 7 nanostrain/yr),...

The configuration of crustal plates in South East Asia is tectonically complicated. The North-West Trench (Palawan Trough) is a part of the most recent subduction zone between the South China Sea and North-West Borneo. Sundaland internal deformation is general very small (less than 7 nanostrain/yr), important accumulation of elastic deformation occurs along its boundaries with fast-moving neighbouring plates. Lack of deformation analytics or analyser in Sarawak is a preclinical problem and it has been revealed that the nation is not ready to confront the natural disaster such as earthquake and landslide. In fact, periodically monitoring of suspicious deformable area has dramatically increased due to the growing concerns to the disasters such as landslides and man-made structural failure. The study was conducted at the entire states in Sarawak. In this project, 14 stations of MyRTKnet located in each of the district in Sarawak. The GNSS data used spans a nine-year period, from 2011 to 2019. GIPSY software was chosen as the finest software to employ for processing in order to achieve high-precision results.
