Groundwater Radon in the Taiwan Subduction Zone: A Natural Strain-Meter for Earthquake Prediction

Ming-Ching Tom Kuo, Ph.D., is a professor of petroleum engineering at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan. He gained his industrial experience while working at Stanford Research Institute, Occidental Petroleum, and Mobil. He is experienced in oil, gas, and geothermal production. His research interests include groundwater hydrology, groundwater and soil remediation, and monitoring of groundwater radon. Since 2003, his research has focused on the applications of recurrent radon precursors to forecast local large earthquakes in the Taiwan subduction zone.

Dr. Kuo earned his B.S. degree in chemical engineering from National Taiwan University, an M.S. in chemical engineering from Kansas State University, and a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from Stanford University.

Ming-Ching Tom Kuo, Ph.D.，是台灣國立成功大學的石油工程教授。他在史丹佛研究所、奧克西登塔爾石油公司和美孚石油公司工作期間獲得了工業經驗。他在石油、天然氣和地熱生產方面具有豐富的經驗。他的研究興趣包括地下水水文學、地下水和土壤修復，以及地下水氡的監測。自2003年以來，他的研究專注於利用重複氡前驅物來預測台灣隱沒帶的局部大地震。
