The TAIGER (Taiwan Integrated Geodynamics Research) project is a joint USA-Taiwan program that seeks to model the complex collision processes and the tectonic development of Taiwan, based on extensive observation. Funded by the NSF Continental Dynamics Program and by Taiwan's National Science Council and involving investigators at SUNY/Binghamton, UTIG, USC, Cornell, and Wisconsin, this project has acquired more than twice as much data as originally proposed due to synergistic contributions by Taiwan scientists and Taiwanese government science funding. From FY2006-2009, deployments of seismic instruments on land (IRIS) and at ocean-bottom (OBSIP) maximized the recording of local events and teleseisms, as well as artificial sources specially set off for TAIGER, in order to obtain high resolution 3-D images. To map the areas around Taiwan the PIs were able to use the NSF-supported research ship, the R/V Langseth, to create seismic waves that were recorded by a 6-km long streamer and also ocean-bottom and land recorders. These seismic and magnetotelluric profiles as well as petrologic lab data are currently being analyzed. TAIGER project data combined with geodynamics methods will be used to test a set of existing tectonic models that range from a thin skinned model, in which subduction of continental Eurasian mantle and lower crust is separated from a deforming crustal wedge by a plate boundary decollement, from a thick skinned model, where deformation of crust and mantle occurs within a vertically contiguous system, with progressive thickening of continental mantle beneath the core of the mountain belt.The current project (TAIGER?s TALE), will expand on thier initial studies to carry out in-depth and advanced studies using the extensive TAIGER data volumes (no new data will be acquired). This work will lead to significant advances in understanding deformational processes associated with the evolution of Taiwan due to plate collision. Studies will focus primarily on seismological analyses to obtain physical properties and rheological indicators as well as the integrative ties with geodynamical modeling efforts. The over-arching strategy is to take advantage of the unique aspects of the acquired data sets, the tectonic environment, and the diverse and complementary participating/collaborating personnel. They will perform their analyses of various data sets in such a way that higher frequency/higher resolution results are nested in the context of broader scale results. They will make extensive use of ?crossover? seismological data sets recorded during TAIGER (active sources collected by passive-source arrays, and earthquakes collected in active-source arrays). Also, analysis/interpretation of these data will be closely tied to geodynamic modeling.

台湾综合地球动力学研究(TAIGER)项目是美国和台湾的联合项目，旨在基于广泛的观察，模拟台湾复杂的碰撞过程和构造发展。由NSF大陆动力学计划和台湾国家科学委员会资助，纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校、UTIG、南加州大学、康奈尔大学和威斯康星州的研究人员参与了这个项目，由于台湾科学家的协同贡献和台湾政府的科学资助，该项目获得的数据是最初计划的两倍多。从2006-2009财政年度开始，部署了陆地地震仪器(IRIS)和海底地震仪器(OBSIP)，最大限度地记录了当地事件和远震，以及专门为TAIGER设置的人造震源，以便获得高分辨率的3-D图像。为了绘制台湾周围地区的地图，PIS能够使用NSF支持的R/V朗塞特号考察船产生地震波，这些地震波由6公里长的拖缆以及海底和陆地记录器记录下来。目前正在分析这些地震和大地电磁剖面以及岩石学实验室数据。TAIGER项目数据将与地球动力学方法相结合，用来检验一套现有的构造模型，其中包括薄皮模型和厚皮模型，前者通过板块边界滑脱将欧亚大陆地幔和下地壳的俯冲与变形的地壳楔体隔开，后者在垂直相连的系统内发生地壳和地幔变形，并在山带核心下逐渐增厚。目前的项目(TAIGER？S故事)将在其初步研究的基础上进行扩展，利用广泛的TAIGER数据量进行深入和深入的研究(不会获得新的数据)。这项工作将在了解台湾板块碰撞演化的变形过程方面取得重大进展。研究将主要侧重于地震学分析，以获得物理特性和流变指标，以及与地球动力学模拟工作的综合联系。总体战略是利用所获得的数据集的独特方面、构造环境以及参与/协作人员的多样性和互补性。他们将以这样一种方式对各种数据集进行分析，即更高频率/更高分辨率的结果嵌套在更大范围的结果中。他们将广泛使用？交叉？TAIGER期间记录的地震学数据集(被动震源阵列收集的主动震源和主动震源阵列收集的地震)。此外，这些数据的分析/解释将与地球动力学建模密切相关。
