To provide information towards understanding Taiwan's earthquake hazard and risk, the multidisciplinary Taiwan Earthquake Model (TEM) project, supported by the Ministry of Sciences and Technology, had prepared and published a first version of seismic hazard assessment maps of Taiwan in 2016, together with an on-land seismogenic structure database of the island. In the years following the publication of this first version, we have constructed an updated version of this database. Seven structures were identified and added to the database. Based on additional information, we have also updated the structural parameters of four existing structures, as well as systematically updated the parameters of all structures to include more complete parameter uncertainties. This update of the database represents the most up-to-date information of seismogenic structures in Taiwan, and would provide better constraints for future seismic hazard assessment and mitigation studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
