Journal ArticleDOI
Modern vertical deformation rates and mountain building in Taiwan from precise leveling and continuous GPS observations, 2000–2008
TL;DR: In this article, the present-day and geologic vertical displacement field in the active Taiwan orogenic belt was characterized using GPS vertical velocities and precise leveling and 199 continuous GPS measurements from 2000 to 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI
Present-day kinematics of active mountain building in Taiwan from GPS observations during 1995-2005
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize the kinematics of modern crustal deformation in Taiwan and evaluate the potential for large earthquakes by computing tectonic block motions and fault slip rates from 531 GPS horizontal velocities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The deep structure of south-central Taiwan illuminated by seismic tomography and earthquake hypocenter data
Giovanni Camanni,Joaquina Alvarez-Marrón,Dennis Brown,C. Ayala,Yih-Min Wu,Hsien-Hsiang Hsieh +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine seismic tomography and earthquake hypocenter data to investigate the deformation that is taking place at depth beneath south-central Taiwan, where they define the basement as any pre-Eocene rifting rocks, and use a P-wave velocity of 5.2 km/s as a reference for the interface between these rocks and their sedimentary cover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subduction-continent collision in southwestern Taiwan and the 2010 Jiashian earthquake sequence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrated a regional tomography model, 20-year seismicity and earthquake focal mechanisms of the 4 March 2010 M L 6.4 Jiashian earthquake source region to delineate the seismogenic structure and mechanics of a relatively rare damaging inland earthquake that occurred in the southwestern fold-and-thrust belt of Taiwan.

New seismogenic source and deep structures revealed by the 1999 Chia-yi earthquake sequence in southwestern Taiwan
Yue-Gau Chen,Y. Kuo,Yih-Min Wu,Hsiung Lin Chen,Chien-Hsin Chang,Ron Yu Chen,Po Wen Lo,Kuo En Ching,Jian-Cheng Lee +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, two major seismicity clusters were identified with spatial distribution between depths of 10 and 16 km, corresponding to the strike-slip Meishan fault (MSF) that generated the 1906 surface rupture.

Extended 14C Data Base and Revised Calib 3.0 14C Age Calibration Program
Minze Stuiver,Paula J. Reimer +1 more
TL;DR: The age calibration program, CALIB (Stuiver & Reimer 1986), first made available in 1986 and subsequently modified in 1987 (revision 2.0 and 2.1), has been amended anew as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid flooding of the sunda shelf: A late-glacial sea-level record
TL;DR: The increase in sea level from the last glacial maximum has been derived from a siliciclastic system on the tectonically stable Sunda Shelf in Southeast Asia, and the record generally confirms sea-level reconstructions from coral reefs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Velocity field of GPS stations in the Taiwan area
TL;DR: In this article, the average rates of length change for all baselines of the network and those from nine continuously monitoring permanent stations are used in a least squares adjustment to estimate the velocities of the GPS stations relative to Paisha, Penghu, situated at the Chinese continental margin.

Experimental Study of Channel Patterns
Stanley A. Schumm,H. R. Khan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of experiments were performed in a large flume to determine the effect of slope and sediment load on channel patterns, and the results indicated that landforms may not always respond progressively to altered conditions and dramatic morphologic changes can occur abruptly when critical erosional and (or) depositional threshold values are exceeded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geotectonic evolution of late Cenozoic arc-continent collision in Taiwan
TL;DR: The active collision between the Luzon arc and the Asian continent in the Taiwan area is investigated in terms of plate kinematics and geological records in this article, where the collisional history can be interpreted from the stratigraphy of the Coastal Range and the Western Foothills and from the diastrophism of the Central Range of Taiwan.
