Modern Orogeny in Taiwan

这项研究涉及一个有趣的构造问题， 台湾快速的造山过程。 最近的几 那里的发展产生了宝贵的数据集， 开展这项工作：三维速度数据从旅行时 反演，台湾布格重力资料，海洋C14测年 阶地、古地磁发现和大地测量。 这 研究涉及通过进一步的方法来综合这些数据集， 用地震矩张量解补充它们， 地震事件的空间分布 结果将 适用于改善/改造当前造山带 台湾山脉形成过程的模型。 因为这 工作直接涉及造山过程， 地震活动，它直接适用于国家 减少地震灾害计划。

This research deals with an interesting tectonic problem, the rapid on-going orogenic process in Taiwan. Several recent developments there have produced valuable data sets needed to carry out this proposed work: 3-D velocity data from travel-time inversion, Bouguer gravity data of Taiwan, C14 dating of marine terraces, paleomagnetic findings, and geodetic surveys. This research involves synthesizing these data sets by further complementing them with earthquake moment tensor solutions and spatial distribution of seismic events. The results will be applied to the improvement/modification of current orogenic models of the mountain-building process of Taiwan. Because this work deals directly with the processes of mountain-building and seismic activity, it has direct application to the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.
