In the village of Tsaoling (in Yunlin County, Taiwan), a major landslide was triggered by the
Chi-Chi earthquake in 1999 with more than 125× 106 m3 of rock displaced. The kinematic …

Abstract The Chi-Chi earthquake was the largest onland earthquake to occur in Taiwan in
the twentieth century. It inflicted severe damage in central western Taiwan: the excited …

Earthquake and Volcano Deformation is the first textbook to present the mechanical models
of earthquake and volcanic processes, emphasizing earth-surface deformations that can be …

Earthquake rupture length and width estimates are in demand in many seismological
applications. Earthquake magnitude estimates are often available, whereas the geometrical …

Large earthquakes deform the Earth's surface and drive topographic growth in the frontal
zones of mountain belts. They also induce widespread mass wasting, reducing relief. The …

In tectonically active mountain belts, earthquake-triggered landslides deliver large amounts
of sediment to rivers. We quantify the geomorphic impact of the 1999 M w 7.6 Chi-Chi …

We evaluate the effect of coseismic stress changes on the fault slip at midcrustal depth,
assuming a velocity‐strengthening brittle creep rheology. We show that this model can help …

Since the beginning of formation of proto-Taiwan during late Miocene (9 Ma), the subducting
Philippine (PH) Sea plate moved continuously through time in the N307° direction at a 5.6 …

We investigated the rupture process of the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake, using high-
quality near-source strong-motion records, broadband teleseismic displacement waveforms …

We investigate the rupture process of the 1999 Chi‐Chi, Taiwan, earthquake using
extensive near‐source observations, including three‐component velocity waveforms at 36 …
