The ASTER GDEM with 30 m spatial resolution accessible from the open site
illustrates linear features suggesting active faults
The harmonized geological maps show continuous tectonics including
displacement lines and exotic terranes
Segments of the Nam Ma fault was mapped by the relief map of ASTER
GDEM and the harmonized geological map
The greatest magnitude of possible earthquakes is 7.5 to be caused by
rupture of 100 km long segment which crosses Myanmar and Laos
In conclusion, the harmonized geological maps show continuous tectonics
over cross-border areas and the remote sensing data provide regional
information over data vacant areas.
Conclusions
