Abstract The Matano fault in central Sulawesi is one of the major strike-slip faults that accommodate rapid left-lateral slip between Pacific and Australian plates. has a high seismic potential producing large (M w ≥7) earthquakes. However, was less studied, unlike Palu-Koro fault. This paper presents preliminary results our active investigation eastern which may help understanding neotectonics...

[1] We have applied a thin-shell modeling technique to study the neotectonics of the Caribbean plate. Kinematic conditions computed assuming rotation poles and velocities from NUVEL-1A and from recent geodetic studies have been applied at the lateral boundaries of the model to represent the motion of the adjacent plates with respect to the Caribbean. We have generated a large number of models v...
