urban Seismology in the taipei Metropolitan Area: review and Prospective
A strong collision between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea Plates causes high seismicity in the Taiwan region. A substantial number of cities and large towns exist on thick sediments in western Taiwan. Larger-magnitude inland earthquakes, for example the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, can cause serious damage in urban areas. Consequently, urban seismology is of great interest to the local seismologic...
متن کاملGPS seismology
GPS seismology uses convential geodetic models to analyze GPS data at high sampling rates, such as 1 Hz. GPS seismology results are shown for the Denali, San Simeon, Tokachi-oki, and Chuetsu earthquakes. Records for these earthquakes indicate that GPS is an excellent instrument for measuring large displacements near earthquake ruptures. GPS systems can be improved for seismic applications if th...
متن کاملStatistical Seismology
Stochastic models with an increasing component of physical reasoning have been slowly gaining acceptance over the last two decades. The subject of statistical seismology aims to bridge the gap between physics-based models without statistics, and statistics-based models without physics. This volume, which is based largely on papers presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Statistical Seism...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Urban Lightning Hazards for Atlanta, Georgia
Weather-related hazards are the result of interactions between the physical environment and the demographics of the community that experience them. Numerous studies have documented urban heat island (UHI) modification of cloud-to-ground lightning flash densities, but none have linked flashes to the underlying demographics. In this study, I compared flash and housing densities for 25 counties en...
متن کاملSeismology and CTBT Verification
It is well-known that the design and production of nuclear weapons required major efforts in scientific research and engineering, with a supporting infrastructure of weapons laboratories. Less well-known, is that scientific research and development have also played an important role in nuclear arms control. In this paper, my purpose is to explain the role of seismology in treaty verification; t...
