Kuo-Fong Ma

January 01, 1970

Kuo-Fong Ma[a] (Chinese: 馬國鳳; pinyin: Mǎ Guó Fèng, 1963 – ) is a Taiwanese seismologist. She is primarily known for research conducted on the Chelungpu Fault, the cause of one of the most devastating earthquakes in Taiwan, the 1999 Jiji earthquake.[1]

Career edit

Ma was born in 1963 at Su'ao, Taiwan. She graduated from National Central University in 1985 and received her master's degree in 1987 from the Institute of Oceanography at National Taiwan University. In 1993, she earned a PhD degree from the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at Caltech.

She is currently the Chief Scientist of the Taiwan Earthquake Research Center,[2] a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica,[3] a professor in the Earth Sciences Department of National Central University, and the founder and Director of the Earthquake- Disaster & Risk Evaluation and Risk Management (E-DREaM) Center.[4] She is also a member of the Global Earthquake Model.

Ma was one of the Ten Outstanding Young Women of Republic of China of the year 2000[5] and received the Academic Award of Ministry of Education in 2007.[6] In 2011, she was awarded a Taiwan Outstanding Women in Science (TOWIS) prize[7][8] and the annual science prize from the Chien-Shiung Wu Education Foundation.[9]

She received a Ministry of Education National Chair Professorship in 2013.[10] In 2019, she was elected as a fellow of the American Geophysical Union.[11]

Research edit

Ma led the "Taiwan Chelungpu Fault Drilling Project," which explored the causes of the 1999 Jiji earthquake that occurred in central Taiwan on September 21, 1999.[12] Her team was the first to measure the actual thickness of earthquake slip zones, a key parameter in understanding earthquake energy release.[13][14][9] Her research implied that the causes of the 921 earthquake is cyclical in nature, predicting a similar one in 400 years.

Analyses of the earthquake also led to the first characterization of earthquakes caused by the movement of underground water. The team defined this unusual type of earthquake as an "isotropic event," an earthquake-like event caused by natural hydraulic fracturing.[15] This finding might have implications for fracking operations.[16]

Ma established a Taiwan Earthquake Committee to chart earthquake models of Taiwan (the Taiwan Earthquake Model project).[17][18] In 2018, she created the Earthquake Disaster & Risk Evaluation and Management Center (E-DREaM), an agency that brings together experts and scholars in the disaster chains to analyze the risk factors of events such as earthquakes, tsunami, landslides, soil liquefaction, and extreme weather systems.[19]
