“…For example, we see high dilation peaks in regions of both future earthquakes and slower slip events as for the SEq1 event (Figure 7e). This could have significant implications for earthquake forecasting methods and new technical developments of monitoring systems (Lee & Wu, 2009; Tehseen et al., 2020). In this way, tracking and monitoring ongoing slow earthquakes appears to be critical to better assess seismic hazard.…”

“…The EEW system is becoming a useful tool for seismic hazard mitigation after 20 years of development (ALLEN et al 2009;LEE and WU 2009;SATRIANO et al 2011). Many countries are currently involved in developing EEW systems (ALLEN et al 2009), of which Taiwan is one.…”

“…Therefore, Taiwan started developing an EEW system for seismic hazard mitigation in 1993 (TENG et al 1997;WU et al 1998WU et al , 1999WU and TENG 2002;HSIAO et al 2009). Taiwan, Japan and Mexico are all located in Pacific Rim seismic zones and are the leading developers of the EEW system (ALLEN et al 2009;LEE and WU 2009;SATRIANO et al 2011).…”

Taiwan is one of the leading developers of earthquake early warning (EEW) systems. The Central Weather Bureau has been the primary developer of the EEW system in Taiwan since 1993. In 2010, the National Taiwan University (NTU) developed an EEW system for research purposes using low-cost accelerometers. As of 2014, a total of 506 stations have been deployed and configured. The NTU system can provide earthquake information within 15 s of an earthquake occurrence. Thus, this system may provide early warnings for cities located more than 50 km from the epicenter. Additionally, the NTU system also has an onsite alert function that triggers a warning for incoming P-waves greater than a certain magnitude threshold, thus providing a 2-3 s lead time before peak ground acceleration for regions close to an epicenter. Detailed shaking maps are produced by the NTU system within one or two minutes after an earthquake. Regions of high shaking indicated by the shalking map can indicate locations of damage and casualties and help estimate the damage incurred. The direction of earthquake ruptures are also potentially identified based on detailed shaking maps and strong motion records of the NTU system.

“…In addition, some selected glossary terms about earthquakes are excerpted from Aki and Lee (2003), Lee and Wu (2009), and others for the benefit of readers who are not seismologists. The glossary of Aki and Lee (2003) includes over 1200 specialized terms (including abbreviations and acronyms) that the readers may encounter in reading the literature on earthquake and engineering seismology and related fields.…”
