RESEARCH

Tectonics and Earthquakes

By combining historical records with understanding how faults behave, we can make more informed statements about future earthquakes.

-- Kerry Sieh, EOS Director

A goal of our work is to better understand the "personality" of each of the large faults in the region.

Hunting Lebanon AD 551 Tsunami

Hunting the Tsunami Deposits of the AD551 Beirut-Tripoli Earthquake The AD551 Beirut-Tripoli earthquake is reported to have generated a large tsunami flooding the cities of Beirut and Tripoli.

GPS Geodetic Studies

Technical Proposal to Support GPS Geodetic Studies under Various Scientific Projects Currently EOS is operating the Sumatran GPS Array (SuGAr), in collaboration with our collaborators at LIPI in Indonesia.

Earthquake Geology in Myanmar

Earthquake Geology in Myanmar We propose to continue neotectonic and paleoseismic studies in Myanmar.

Data sensing, Communication & Processing

Data sensing, communications and processing for earth observation in the Singapore region Building upon the 2009 work entitled “Data sensing, communications and processing for the Sumatran GPS array”, this proposal aims to firstly continue the team's role in enhancing the current Sumatran GPS array …

Collision Zones Modelling

Discrete Element Modelling of Fault Nucleation and Propagation in Collision Zones Since the advent of Plate Tectonics, modelling the deformation of continents, particularly the nucleation, growth and interaction of large faults has been plagued by drastic shortcomings.
