Tiechanshan-Tunghsiao anticline earthquake analysis: Implications for northwestern Taiwan potential carbon dioxide storage site seismic hazard

Poisson model for earthquake frequency uncertainties in seismic hazard analysis

Frequency-magnitude distributions, and their associated uncertainties, are of key importance in statistical seismology. When fitting these distributions , the assumption of Gaussian residuals is invalid since event numbers are both discrete and of unequal variance. In general, the observed number in any given magnitude range is described by a binomial distribution which, given a large total num...

Computational Geodynamics for Seismic Hazard Analysis and Earthquake Prediction

A review of earthquake occurrence models for seismic hazard analysis

A large number of probabilistic earthquake occurrence models are currently available for seismic hazard assessment. This paper reviews the basic assumptions of the various models, summarizes their stochastic representations and discusses the parameters needed for applications. While the Poisson model is one of the most commonly used in practice it is limited in its representation of the physica...

Earthquake triggering and large-scale geologic storage of carbon dioxide.

Despite its enormous cost, large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered a viable strategy for significantly reducing CO(2) emissions associated with coal-based electrical power generation and other industrial sources of CO(2) [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2005) IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage. Prepared by Working Group III of the Intergovern...

Study on Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Maps of Taiwan after Chi-chi Earthquake

Probabilistic seismic hazard maps are widely used for engineering design, land use planning, and disaster mitigation etc. This study conducted a review of readily available information on tectonic setting, geology, and seismicity, and the attenuation of peak ground acceleration (PGA) of Taiwan for completing the revised probabilistic seismic hazard maps by the state-of-the-art probabilistic sei...
