AIT (U.S.) - CCNAA (Taiwan) Cooperative Research: High-resolution 3-D Crustal Imaging for The Hualien Area of Central Eastern Taiwan

这是一项为期两年的合作研究项目，由美国孟菲斯州立大学赵哲明博士和中央研究院叶永天教授提出，由AIT(美国)-CCNAA(台湾)合作科学计划支持。这项研究计划利用熊猫阵列收集的数据，开发台湾中东部花莲地区的高分辨率三维地壳成像。三维高分辨率结构/地质数据目前还无法获得，但在研究地震过程及其相关地面运动之间的关系方面是有用的。这项研究的所有仪器和当地的实地费用都由台湾的科学家支付，而美国-台湾项目，NSF为三名来访的台湾游客提供资金。这是一个性价比高的项目，为美国地震研究界带来了巨大的收益。

This is a two year cooperative research project proposed by Dr. Jer-Ming Chiu, Memphis State University, and Professor Yeong Tein Yeh, Academia Sinica, supported by the AIT (U.S.) - CCNAA (Taiwan) Cooperative Science Program. This study plans to develop high-resolution 3-D crustal imaging for the Hualien area of central Eastern Taiwan using the data collected by the PANDA arrays. The 3-D high-resolution structure/geological data are currently unavailable, but are useful in examining the relationship between the earthquake processes and their associated ground movement. All instruments and the local field expenses for this study are covered by the scientists in Taiwan while the US-Taiwan Program, NSF provides the funds for three visitors travelling to Taiwan. This is a cost-effective project with significant gain to the U.S. earthquake research community.
