The imaging clearly delineates major structural boundaries and fault geometries across central Taiwan, corroborating the previously proposed pro-wedge and retro-wedge models while offering insight into regional seismic hazards.

Combining strong motion and GNSS measurements reveals enriched near-fault deformation patterns and an intriguing localized subsidence between the two hypocenters that may impart large stress to trigger the Chihshang earthquake. This augmented dataset could offer valuable constraints for understanding shallow slip distribution, shallow vs. deep slip budget, and possible multi-fault interaction in future investigations.
