Onshore/Offshore Wide-Angle Deep Seismic Profiling in Taiwan

In summer 1995, in collaboration with the deep multi-channel seismic profiling project around the island of Taiwan, an onshore-offshore wide angle deep seismic profiling experiment was conducted in Taiwan. The re sults are expected to provide the first complete seismic images of the deep crustal structure for a better understanding of the Taiwan orogeny and subduction-collision system. The experiment consists of three profiles, one along each of the central and southern cross-island highways and another on the south-link highway of the island. For the first two lines, 35 three component portable seismographs were deployed along each of the 116 and 135 km-long profiles onshore, with airgun shots being fired at distances
