2019 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Seismology
  • Fault
  • Plate tectonics

Kuo-Fong Ma mostly deals with Seismology, Far East, Fault, Geodesy and Epicenter. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Borehole and Seismology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including In situ and Permeability.

In his study, Thrust fault and Quake is inextricably linked to Hypocenter, which falls within the broad field of Geodesy. His work carried out in the field of Epicenter brings together such families of science as TEC, Total electron content, Ionosphere and Focal mechanism. While the research belongs to areas of Seismic gap, Kuo-Fong Ma spends his time largely on the problem of Interplate earthquake, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Earthquake simulation and Seismic microzonation.

His most cited work include:

  • The Chi‐Chi, Taiwan earthquake: Large surface displacements on an inland thrust fault (188 citations)
  • Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Slip for the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, Earthquake (184 citations)
  • Slip zone and energetics of a large earthquake from the Taiwan Chelungpu-fault Drilling Project (184 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Fault, Geodesy, Borehole and Far East. His study involves Aftershock, Seismic hazard, Subduction, Tectonics and Hypocenter, a branch of Seismology. His study in Seismic hazard is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Peak ground acceleration and Ground motion.

His Tectonics research incorporates themes from Submarine pipeline and Stress drop. His work on Seismic gap as part of general Fault study is frequently linked to Drill, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Geodesy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Seismic moment, Focal mechanism and Thrust fault.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (92.97%)
  • Fault (27.34%)
  • Geodesy (14.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Seismology (92.97%)
  • Ground motion (7.03%)
  • Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (4.69%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Kuo-Fong Ma focuses on Seismology, Ground motion, Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, Conjugate and Focus. He interconnects Geodetic datum and Bathymetry in the investigation of issues within Seismology. Kuo-Fong Ma has researched Bathymetry in several fields, including Tsunami earthquake and Episodic tremor and slip.

His Ground motion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Epicenter, Earthquake rupture, Seismic hazard and Reversed polarity. His work deals with themes such as Earthquake forecast and Earthquake hazard, which intersect with Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. His Focus research overlaps with Forensic engineering and Section.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis at Regional and National Scales: State of the Art and Future Challenges (15 citations)
  • A strong-motion hot spot of the 2016 Meinong, Taiwan, earthquake (M_w = 6.4) (12 citations)
  • The Large Greenland Landslide of 2017: Was a Tsunami Warning Possible? (9 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Seismology
  • Fault
  • Plate tectonics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Ground motion, Landslide, Multiple fault and Geodetic datum. Seismology and State are two areas of study in which Kuo-Fong Ma engages in interdisciplinary research. Among his State studies, you can observe a synthesis of other disciplines of science such as Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, Earthquake hazard and Earthquake forecast.

His research in Earthquake rupture intersects with topics in Cartography, Hypocenter, Seismic array and Foreshock. His Focal mechanism study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Seismogram.
