Goal of the talk

Target: Temperature (heat) signature of the earthquake We observed temperature signature around the fault zone along the Chelungpu fault (September, 2005) The signature can be interpreted as the frictional heat caused by fault slip at the time of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake Evaluate other cause of the temperature anomaly (1) Spatial variation of material thermal conductivity Estimate “noise level” and obtain upper bound of heat strength (2) Water flow Calculate the temperature anomaly affected by 1-dimensional water flow

Summary (1) Spatial variation of material thermal conductivity may cause noise in data

Our observation gives upper bound of heat strength (still low friction)

(2) Minimal effects from fluid flow in our observed temperature signature (3) Small heat signature indicates a low level friction
