Study on the Process of a Propagating Rupture

这项研究攻击了最困难的地震学之一 问题-预测强高频地面运动， 复杂的断层作用，以及震源模型的反演观测。 该分析将使用大量的地震数据集， 1987年10月1日加州惠蒂尔海峡地震， 从台湾的地震区。 该研究具有直接和 国家地震灾害的重要应用 在预测特别破坏性的地方 地震时的高频地面运动。

This research attacks one of the most difficult seismological problems - predicting strong high-frequency ground motion from complex faulting, and inverting observations for a source model. The analysis will use extensive seismic data sets from the California Whittier Narrows earthquake of October 1, 1987, and from earthquake areas in Taiwan. The research has direct and important application to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program in predicting the particularly damaging local high-frequency ground motions during an earthquake.
