Preface to the Special Issue on Potential Geohazards of the Taipei Metropolitan Area

The Taipei metropolitan area is located within a complex tectonic environment where several types of geohazards may readily occur. In order to better characterize and understand the tectonic environment and related surface processes that may threaten the residents of Taipei, the Taiwan Central Geolo...
