  Title: The far-reaching impact on climate of deforestation in Indonesia Abstract: In the Malay Archipelago (Indonesia and Malaysia), forest is being lost in the past several decades to cash-crop plantation (oil palm, rubber and acacia, including fallow lands) and urban expansion. De... Read More

  Title: Revised earthquake sources for tsunami hazard assessment in South China Sea: A sleeping giant under the Manila trench Abstract: Seismogenic tsunami hazard assessment highly depends on the reliability of earthquake source models. Here in Manila subduction zone, we c... Read More

  Title: GRACE observation of global mass change Abstract: This presentation will show the principle of GRACE gravimetry and some case studies. The GRACE satellite mission uses two satellites (A and B) to detect changes in their line-of-sight velocities, which are then inverted to compute... Read More

Title: Forest and the atmosphere: from flux measurement to the forest dynamics modeling Abstract I have been focusing on the micrometeorological phenomena within and above the forest canopy, to clarify the mechanism of interaction between forest and the atmosphere, and to evaluate the energy, ...

Title: Kuroshio-typhoon interaction surrounding Taiwan Abstract: The western North Pacific Ocean (WNP) is the most active tropical cyclone (TC) basin in the global oceans. Meanwhile, the Kuroshio is a strong western boundary current of the WNP passing through the east of Taiwan all year round.... Read More

Title: Quick Forecast of Tsunamis and Storm Surges Abstract: Usually earthquake scenarios are assumed to provide source conditions for tsunami hazard mitigation. Scenario analysis provides what might happen under some conditions, but we do not know if one scenario is more or less likely than t... Read More

Title:Changes in the Characteristics of Warm Season Rainfall Types in Taiwan: Past Observation and Future Projection Abstract: The warm season rainfall in Taiwan is composed of four types of rain events: tropical cyclone (TC), frontal convection (FC), diurnal convection (DC) and other southerl...

Title:Distribution and social-environmental analysis of methane in the South China Sea Abstract:   The South China Sea (SCS) is the largest marginal sea in the world. Historically, the seas have buffered the greenhouse effect by acting as a sink of atmospheric CO2. There is increasing ... Read More

Title: A comprehensive sediment dynamics study of a major mud belt system on the inner shelf along an energetic coast Abstract: Globally mud areas on continental shelves are conduits for the dispersal of fluvial-sourced sediment. We address fundamental issues in sediment dynamics focusing on h... Read More

  Title: Water Budget and Precipitation Efficiency of Typhoon Morakot (2009) Abstract: In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (Version 3.2) with the finest grid size of 1 km is used to explicitly simulate Typhoon Morakot (2009) that dumped rainfall of more than 260... Read More
