Taiwan is located at an active plate boundary and prone to earthquake hazards. To evaluate the island's seismic risk, the Taiwan Earthquake Model (TEM) project, supported by the Ministry of Sciences and Technology, evaluates earthquake hazard, risk, and related social and economic impact models for Taiwan through multidisciplinary collaboration. One of the major tasks of TEM is to construct a complete and updated seismogenic structure database for Taiwan to assess future seismic hazards. Toward this end, we have combined information from pre-existing databases and data obtained from new analyses to build an updated and digitized three-dimensional seismogenic structure map for Taiwan. Thirty-eight on-land active seismogenic structures are identified. For detailed information of individual structures such as their long-term slip rates and potential recurrence intervals, we collected data from existing publications, as well as calculated from results of our own field surveys and investigations. We hope this updated database would become a significant constraint for seismic hazard assessment calculations in Taiwan, and would provide important information for engineers and hazard mitigation agencies.read more

Taiwan orogeny: thin-skinned or lithospheric collision?
TL;DR: In this paper, the thin-skinned tectonics hypothesis was formulated to explain mainly the geologic and relatively shallow structures in Taiwan orogeny, which can be used continually to test critically hypotheses of the Taiwan Orogeny.

Active detachment of Taiwan illuminated by small earthquakes and its control of first-order topography
Sara Carena,John Suppe,Honn Kao +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 110,000 small earthquakes to locate and map active faults in three dimensions within the Taiwan arc-continent collision and showed that the reversal of topographic slope across Taiwan is controlled by the shape of the detachment.
