Scientific Interest:
The most extensive scientific interests and contributions are (1) for the understanding of physics of earthquakes through deep scientific drilling (Ma et al., Nature, 2006), and (2) on the innovative seismic data analysis of discovery on isotropic events from fault zone in-situ borehole seismometers (Ma et al., Science, 2012), and (3) for the integration study in seismic hazard mitigation toward Taiwan Earthquake Model (TEM) and the member of Global Earthquake Model (GEM). And, thus, the first public release Taiwan National Seismic Hazard Map with Ministry of Science and Technology in Nov. 2015.
