Megathrust Earthquake Potential of the Manila Subduction Systems Revealed by the Radial Component of Seismic Moment Tensors Mrr

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
We undertook an investigation of the seismic behavior of large earthquake and estimated the crustal deformation state in the northern Philippine area in terms of the radial component of seismic moment tensors (Mrr) distribution.

A vision for space science [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Astronomy, 2009
The effort made in 2004/2005 by the European Space Science community to bring about the Cosmic Vision long-term programme set a standard to spacefaring Agencies for the third time in history. We think that the long-term space science programme of ESA is the only example of planned and formalized cooperation between a whole scientific community and an ...

The Sub-Crustal Stress Field in the Taiwan Region

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
We investigate the sub-crustal stress in the Taiwan region. A tectonic configuration in this region is dominated by a collision between the Philippine oceanic plate and the Eurasian continental margin.

Towards an integrated scientific and social case for human space exploration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
I will argue that an ambitious programme of human space exploration, involving a return to the Moon, and eventually human missions to Mars, will add greatly to human knowledge. Gathering such knowledge is the primary aim of science, but science's compart-

Measurements and Mesoscale Modeling of Autumnal Vertical Ozone Profiles in Southern Taiwan

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2008
Vertical measurements of ozone were made using a tethered balloon at the Linyuan site in Kaohsiung County, southern Taiwan. Ozone was monitored at altitudes of 0, 100, 300, 500, and 1000 m from November 23 to 25 in 2005.
