| Abstract | Sabah in Malaysia is severely affected by tectonically active neighbouring plates that are under stress due to compressional forces dominantly in NW-SE direction. The compression causes ground breakage via faults, active and non-active. The active faults pose a threat to human and environment at large; thus, information on the matter is a necessity. This study aims to locate and assess the active fault at Lahad Datu, which is one of the seismically active locations in Sabah by using magnetotelluric method. The result shows the existence of an active fault with low resistivity values (<5 m) in the region. The identified NE-SW thrust fault is correlated with existing lineament data. The research provides valuable information for hazard planning for the locality. |
