Monitoring micro-earthquakes in active faults from dense seismic arrays

Monitoring micro-earthquakes in active faults from dense seismic arrays

  1. Microearthquakes were recorded by a dense seismic array near the Lishan fault of Taiwan.

  2. The Lishan fault is a high-angle left-lateral structure based on seismicity and focal mechanisms.

  3. The Lishan fault is an active structure from the surface to about 35 km.
