Journal ArticleDOI

Variations of soil radon and thoron concentrations in a fault zone and prospective earthquakes in SW Taiwan

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

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

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.
