Abstract

The $M_w=5.8$ Kyungju (South Korea) earthquake took place on 12 September 2016. This event may cause deformation around Kyungju city, located in the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula. In this study, GPS data was collected from the 17 Korean CORS and processed to determine the deformation. Minimum constraint solutions, to avoid the network distortion, are obtained and an S-transformation is applied to the coordinate difference vector and its covariance matrix for comparisons. In the final step, a statistical test is performed to determine the deformation due to the Kyungju earthquake. Based on the results, it was found that there is no significant deformation around Kyungju city. Hence, it can be said that the re-measurement or re-establishment of the geodetic control points in South Korea is not required.
