Abstract

We study recent tectonic activity in the Taoyuan-Hsinchu area in northwest Taiwan. Using the latest technique of radar interferometry, InSAR persistent scatterers and GPS, we are able to demonstrate that uplift in Shuanglienpo syncline is due to the growth of a blind fault system; and, Hukou fault is slowly accumulating strain. Information about these subsurface structures is vital to seismic hazard assessment since they are proved to be active.
