  • Investigation of Deformation Front in Miaoli Offshore Area, Taiwan
    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 21, EGU2019-6948-3, 2019 EGU General Assembly 2019 © Author(s) 2019. CC Attribution 4.0 license. Investigation of deformation front in Miaoli offshore area, Taiwan Sz-Jie Chen and Gwo-Shyh Song national taiwan university, Oceanography, Taipei, Taiwan Taiwan is located in the collision zone between the Eurasia plate and the Philippine Sea plate. The Philippine Sea plate moves to northwest at a rate of 7 cm per year relative to the Eurasian plate resulting in forming a series of fold-and-thrust belts aligned in northeast-southwest direction. Westward compressive forces gave the younger or more active faults are located in the west. Scholars refer the west edge of fold and thrust belts as the location of so-called deformation front. To the north of the Sanyi-Puli Seismic Zone, it is believed the front goes to ocean floor and is located offshore of Miaoli and Hsinchu County. Previous studies indicated that the deformation front follows the trace of Hsinchu fault extending offshore to the place where water depth at 35m. Beneath water layer, sediment strata were deformed compressively to imply its young occurrence. Accordingly, this study was proposed, we therefore believed that the trace of deformation front shall be turned southward and aligned offshore along the coastal line of Chunan-Houlong. The tools to trace the deformation front offshore Chunan and Houlong are reflection seismic system, multi-beam echo sounder and side-scan sonar system in this study. Survey results indicate offshore deformation front appears along a reverse fault with 0.8◦ dipping angle southeastwards, and its trace extending from Hsinchu Fault to the deeper area over 50 meters depth.

This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee The History and Politics of Taiwan’s February 28 Incident, 1947- 2008 by Yen-Kuang Kuo BA, National Taiwan Univeristy, Taiwan, 1991 BA, University of Victoria, 2007 MA, University of Victoria, 2009 Supervisory Committee Dr. Zhongping Chen, Supervisor Department of History Dr. Gregory Blue, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. John Price, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Andrew Marton, Outside Member Department of Pacific and Asian Studies iii Abstract Taiwan’s February 28 Incident happened in 1947 as a set of popular protests against the postwar policies of the Nationalist Party, and it then sparked militant actions and political struggles of Taiwanese but ended with military suppression and political persecution by the Nanjing government. The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

  • Kaohsiung, TAIWAN
    Kaohsiung, TAIWAN Deepening of Berths 65 and 66 There are currently seven international harbours in Taiwan playing important roles in economic development: Keelung, Kaohsiung, Hualien, Taichung, Suao, Anping, and Taipei. The port of Kaohsiung is Taiwan’s leading international commercial port with Anping serving as its auxiliary harbour. The deep-water port of Kaohsiung is the marine transit hub for East Asia and South Taiwan. Featuring a natural harbour and two access channels with depths of 11 and 16 metres, the 2,683-hectare port is capable of handling up to 100,000-DWT vessels. Kaohsiung currently has five container terminals and a total of 118 berths – including 26 container berths – which can accommodate 6,000-TEU post-Panamax container ships. Handling over 70% of Taiwan’s container traffic and 60% of the country’s total international trade volume, the harbour has been the world’s third largest container port for many years, with a container throughput of 10 million TEU in 2006. Plans have been made to benefit from geographical advantages and nearby software and hardware facilities to speed up the development of Kaohsiung Harbour. To respond to the Kaohsiung features 5 container development of large vessels and to maximise the har- terminals and 118 berths bour’s efficiency, several container wharves have been Handling 10 million TEU per year, Kaohsiung is one of the largest harbours in the world 118 The most economical deepening solution involved installation of an underwater sheet pile wall forward of the quay deepened, including the existing berths 65 (length: 244 m) and 66 (length: 440 m) that have been be rebuilt as container wharves.

In Taiwan, the annual average PM2.5 concentrations were found to be 28.9, 24.1, 21.4, 20.2, –3 and 19.9 µg m in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively, which indicated that the annual variations in PM2.5 levels were decreasing during the study period. The average increases (+)/decreases (–) of PM2.5 concentrations were –16.7%, –11.1%, –5.75%, and –1.73% from 2013 to 2014, from 2014 to 2015, from 2015 to 2016, and from 2016 to 2017, respectively. Based to the relationship between PM10 values and total PCDD/F concentrations obtained from previous studies, we estimated that in 2017, the annual average total PCDD/Fs-TEQ concentrations ranged between 0.0148 –3 –3 (Lienchiang County) and 0.0573 pg WHO2005-TEQ m (Keelung City), and averaged 0.0296 pg WHO2005-TEQ m , while –1 the PM2.5-bound total PCDD/Fs-TEQ content ranged from 0.302 (Kaohsiung City) to 0.911 ng WHO2005-TEQ g –1 (Keelung City), at an average of 0.572 ng WHO2005-TEQ g .
