Taiwan geod<strong>et</strong>ic strain rate modelGroup members:Ya-Ju Hsu (IES)Jian-Cheng Lee (IES)Jyr-<strong>Ching</strong> Hu (NTU)Wen-Jeng Huang (NCU)Wu-Lung Chang (NCU)Kuo-En <strong>Ching</strong> (NCKU)Ruey-Juin Rau (NCKU)Ruey-Juin RauDepartment of Earth Sciences, Nation<strong>al</strong> Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan1
Outlines:1. Why strain rate matters?2. What is the current status of Taiwanstrain rate model?3. What are the short-term go<strong>al</strong>s?4. What are the long-term considerations?2
Seismic Hazard An<strong>al</strong>ysis1. Earthquake rupture forecastGives the probability of <strong>al</strong>l possible major earthquakeruptures throughout the region and over a specified time span2. Earthquake shaking modelFor a given earthquake rupture, this gives the probability thatan intensity-measure type will exceed some level of concern3
