Research Interests
Wu-Cheng is a geoscientist with interests in ground motions induced by earthquakes, crustal deformation, fluids, and man-make sources. He is mostly using seismic waveforms, and integrating other geological and geophysical datasets for a jointly interpretation. The main objectives of his researches include seismic hazard mitigation and resources preservations.
戚務正博士是一位地球科學家。對地震，地殼變形，流體和人造震源引起的地表震動感興趣。他主要研究地震波形，並整合其他地質和地球物理數據以進行聯合解釋。他的研究的主要目標包括減輕地震及其他自然災害和保護資源。
