Abstract
Taipei City is densely populated and it is located in Taipei Basin. It is not only the political, economic, and cultural center of Taiwan, but also one of the most important commercial and financial hubs in Asia. However, the location of Taipei Basin is around several faults and the Tatun volcano group which could be active. Additionally, with the severe climate change, earthquakes and rainstorms happen frequently and pose threats to the life and property of the residents. Therefore, it is essential to monitor surface displacements immediately for protecting the life and property of the people in the metropolitan area. The common practice is to establish the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) stations in the monitored area and to record positions of the stations through time. Consequently, for the deformation analysis, this research will estimate the velocities of observations through the time series data of the GNSS continuously operating reference stations in Taipei Basin and interpret the corresponding strain rates in recent years. Finally, according to the obtained results, surface dynamic behavior in Taipei Basin could be provided for monitoring and deformation analyses, and even referred to concerned departments for developments, constructions, and disaster preventions. © 2018 Asian Association on Remote Sensing.
