NCREE Deploys Real-Time Seismic Monitoring Network in Jianan Area to Assess Fault Hazards
Structures · AEC industry
NCREE integrated multi-agency stations to establish a dense seismic network in Jianan, recording over 2,500 events in 2025 and indicating high stress accumulation.
To enhance earthquake monitoring in the Jianan region, research teams deployed 10 short-period seismic stations and integrated over a hundred stations from Academia Sinica, CCU, and CWA using SeisComP for real-time analysis. Over 2,500 earthquakes were detected in 2025, dominated by the Dapu-Nanxi sequence alongside plain-area clusters. Gutenberg-Richter analysis yielded a b-value of 0.65, lower than Taiwan and global averages, reflecting high stress accumulation and strong-motion potential.
Key takeaways
- Short-period and multi-agency stations were integrated to track fault activity and spatial seismicity in real time.
- Over 2,500 earthquakes were detected in 2025; a low b-value of 0.65 points to elevated stress and higher hazard risk.
