Philippine Island Arc System Tectonic Features Inferred from Magnetic Data Analysis
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015 Running along the middle of the Philippine archipelago from south to north, the Philippine fault zone is one of the _ major strike-slip faults. Intense volcanism in the archipelago is attributed to the ongoing subduction along the trench systems ...

A Refined Vs30 Map for Taiwan Based on Ground Motion Attenuation Relationships
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015 Seismic hazard evaluations require an estimate of the expected ground motion at the site of interest usually by using attenuation relationships. The mean shear-wave velocity over the top 30 m (Vs30) is incorporated in the ground motion attenuation ...

Seismic Evidence of Ancient Westward Residual Slab Subduction Beneath Southern Taiwan
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015 The northeastern convergence of the Philippine Sea plate toward the Eurasian plate causes the major western Philippine Sea plate boundary to subduct toward the northwest or west directions. However, this phenomenon is not clearly observed along the plate
