Tsanyao Frank Yang,Tsanyao Frank Yang,Vivek Walia,L. L. Chyi,Ching-Chou Fu,C.-H. Chen,Tsung-Kwei Liu,Sheng-Rong Song,C.Y. Lee,Ming-Yih Lee +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, an automatic station for soil gas monitoring was set up on an active fault zone of SW Taiwan, and some spike-like anomalous high radon and thoron concentrations could be observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composition and exhalation flux of gases from mud volcanoes in Taiwan
Tsanyao Frank Yang,Gao-Hua Yeh,Ching-Chou Fu,Cheng-Chen Wang,Tefang Lan,Hsiao-Fen Lee,Cheng-Hong Chen,Vivek Walia,Quo-Cheng Sung +8 more
TL;DR: The major compositions of gases exhaling from this site were 75~90% of CO2 and 5~12% of CH4 as mentioned in this paper, which implies that there are multiple sources for the gas compositions of mud volcanoes in Taiwan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earthquake Prediction Studies Using Radon as a Precursor in N-W Himalayas, India: A Case Study
Vivek Walia,Hardev Singh Virk,Tsanyao Frank Yang,Sandeep Mahajan,Monika Walia,Bikramjit Singh Bajwa +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Radon monitoring was carried out using emanometry technique at Palampur and Dalhousie stations in the Kangra valley of Himachal Pradesh (India) from June 1996 to September 1999.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconnaissance of soil gas composition over the buried fault and fracture zone in southern Taiwan
TL;DR: In this paper, soil gas compositions are measured and synthesized in conjunction with the geological, geophysical and geomorphological information along the Chaochou Fault, which is considered as an active fault in southern Taiwan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial variations of radon and helium concentrations in soil-gas across the Shan-Chiao fault, Northern Taiwan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possible connection between eventual radon/helium anomalies and active faults and found that radon and helium together can act as a powerful tool for the detection and mapping of active fault zones.
