Introduction

台灣地震科學中心(TEC)之目的首先為深化台灣地震研究,開展領導性科學的研究領域,並落實研究成果為國所用。經過中心的運作,進一步整合國內地震相關研究,發揮團隊合作力量,除接續前一期豐碩的研究成果,並積極開發或引進新的研究方法及領域,充分與美日及歐洲先進團隊合作,加入台灣地震地質的特性,以落實研究成果,大幅提升國內地震科學研究及防震減災之能力。

本中心將深入探討台灣地震之孕震、發震、震裂之科學過程,進而推動積極前瞻之研究例如台灣地震模型、地震預警與前兆研究及台北盆地之強震放大效應等,落實有效的研究及提出防震減災之道,除了以學術的科學為導向,也提供多元的資料與儀器使用的服務平台;整合氣象局的地震速報資訊與學界近即時的科學成果,再加上其它背景圖資的地震資訊平台,快速地掌握地震的相關資訊與內容;並且提供地震相關教學模組與教材,以利於老師們授課與學生們的自學,讓地震相關知識能萌芽,向下扎根的教育以助達到地震科學教育的普及,利於降低地震所造成傷亡。

Goal

台灣地震科學中心為虛擬中心,以任務導向為主,找出關鍵問題確定明確目標,集中並分配人力設備來推動研究。中心辦公室為執行中心,與心得成果之交換。除要求科學研究成果,以提高國際科學地位外,最重要在以研究成果大幅減少社會的天災損失,與社會防災需求密切結合。

設立地震科學中心有如下理由:

  1. 台灣為世界地震研究之重鎮,不僅地震多,地震相關構造複雜。就研究而言,花少數經費,短期即可獲得相當之研究成果,成立中心可進一步整合研究團隊,使成果及應用迅速擴大。
  2. 承續並發揮過去「地震與活斷層」跨部會計畫之功效,使研究動力得持續並加速成長。
  3. 台灣地震問題複雜,研究單位及項目分散,成立中心可統合各階層及各單位之地震研究,協調次序及重點,發揮總體研究之力量。有具體之協調中心,可與部會如氣象局、地調所、水利署及中油公司等產學密切合作,發揮合作互補之功效。
  4. 台灣地震環境特別,需有前瞻性之研究,追求突破。成立中心可確實掌握全球地震研究之動脈,讓台灣成為世界地震研究核心之一。對新興科技如發展中之奈米級地震感應器,可便宜且大量在地震前兆研究上應用,可迅速引進,以擴大科研成果。

Education and Outreach Committee

The Committee on Education and Outreach (CEO) is dedicated to addressing significant earthquakes both domestically and internationally. In response to this, the committee compiles relevant information and creates presentation files, which are then made publicly available on the TEC website. TEC consolidates all content and establishes a database for archiving. This initiative not only serves as educational material for academic, educational, media, and general public audiences, but also functions as a resource for current earthquake-related events. Through the dissemination of information via social media, it becomes a reference for media reporting. This effort plays a crucial role in enhancing the general public's accurate understanding of earthquakes, consequently raising awareness of disaster prevention.
