• This paper presents the depth inversion of Rayleigh wave group velocity to obtain an S-wave velocity model from seismic ambient noise cross-correlation in western Java, Indonesia. This study utilizes the vertical component data of a temporary seismograph network deployed in 2016, which was used in a previous study to estimate fundamental mode Rayleigh wave group velocity maps. In this study, the Neighborhood Algorithm was applied to invert the Rayleigh wave group velocities into 1D shear-wave velocity ( Vs ) profiles, which were then interpolated to produce a high-resolution, pseudo-3D Vs model. These tomographic images of Vs extend to ~ 20 km depth and show a pronounced NE-SW contrast of low and high Vs in the depth range 1–5 km that correlates well with the Bouguer anomaly map. We interpret the low Vs in the northeastern part of the study area as associated with alluvial and volcanic products from the Sunda Shelf and modern volcanic arc, whereas the high Vs in the southwestern part is associated with volcanic arc products from earlier episodes of subduction. We also obtained the depth of the northern Java Basin, which is in the range of 5–6 km, and the Garut Basin, which extends to 5 km depth. For greater depths, Vs gradually increases throughout western Java, which reflects the crystalline basement. This study provides estimates of the shallow crustal Vs structure underneath West Java with higher resolution than previous tomographic studies, which could be useful for supporting future earthquake studies in the region.
