Abstract: The China Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS) is a satellite that mainly developed by China. This paper discussed the application of CBERS-02 CCD data to the study of the Balikun active fault zone in Xinjiang. Based on the features of these data and the need of earthquake application, first we use apparent reflective technology and principle component analysis to enhance information of active fault, the periods of alluvial fans and terrace. Then we divided the fault zone into two parts (the east Yanchi-Balikun fault zone and the west Yanchi-east Yanchi fault zone) according to the above analysis, and further divided each fault zone into sub-faults according to micro-geomorphology. The results of this study shows that CBERS-02 CCD data can be used in the study of earthquake active faults.

Key words: CBERS-02 CCD data, Active fault, Balikun fault zone
